What happens to the temperature in earths layers?
As you go deeper and deeper the layers will start to get hotter and thicker.
What happens to the mantle rock as you go deeper into the mantle?
earthquakes and volcanoes
How far down does earths mantle go?
The crust goes down about 10 kilometers. Continental crust is about 3 billion years old and oceanic crust is about 70-100 million years old.
What causes it to erupt?
Sometimes the plates on the earths crust crash into each other, forcing one to go lower. The friction causes the rock to get hotter and hotter until it melts. This is called magma. The magma keeps getting hotter, but it needs somewhere to go, so it surges up through the earths crust, making a hole. That is how a volcano is made. Once the hole is made, magma from the earths core comes to the surface, causing the volcano to spit lava
How far beneath the earths surface would you have to go to be where there is no more granite?
Below the crust. This varies based on the thickness of the crust and it has to be continental crust for there to be granite. There are some exceptions to this but it is very complex and not very well understood at this time. The crust varies in thickness between ~25km and 70km (Basin and Range province and Himalayan Mountains, respectively).
What happens to the temperature in earths layers?

What happens when you go further into the earths crust?
you get hotter and hotter
What causes the pressure to increase as you go deeper below the earths crust?
Because the density of the force increases.
Why has no person ever gone deeper than six miles into the earth?
because it gets hotter as you go in to the earths surface. the six miles is only the crust because the mantle is to hot to in to.
If someone would go to the Earth's crust what would it be like?
We are living on the surface of the Earth's crust. The deeper you would go into the crust, the hotter it would get.
What factor increases as you go deeper toward earths core?
Heat
WHAT CAUSE the presure as you go deeper below the crust?
the weight of the rocks above you...
What causes the pressure to increases as you go deeper below the crust?
temperature gets hotter
What causes the pressure to increase as you go deeper below the crust?
temperature gets hotter
What causes the pressure to increase as you go deeper below th earths crust?
As you go deeper, there are more rocks above you, and the more rocks you have, the heavier everything above you gets. When something gets heavier, it applies more pressure on an object. Therefore, when you go deeper, pressure on an object increases.
How is the water in the swimming pool different to earths interior?

Where is geothermal located?
geothermal starts at the outer edge of the earth's crust and gets hotter the deeper you go. The gradual increase in the temperature as the depth increases is called the geothermal gradient. As you proceed through the crust the gradient is gradual. When you break through the upper mantle the temps then rise almost exponentially.
