Why does density pressure and temperature increase as you move towards the center of the earth?

well first the closer you get to earth the closer you get to the mantle which is made of molten rock (magma). And as you go down air pressure from above increase as well which is why it feels like being compressed or inside canned meat.
As well as going deeper, in theory, the gravity also increases as well therefore pulling us down even more

∙ 14y agoThe increase in density with depth in the Earth is a result of both phase changes and buoyancy driven segregation.
Phase changes have a minor effect on density layering. Because pressure at any point in the Earth is determined by the amount of material above that point (pressure = density of the material * the height of the material * Earth's gravitational acceleration), pressure increases with increasing depth. Many minerals undergo a phase change as pressure increase. Often this phase change results in a denser crystal structure producing an overall denser material. For instance, olivine (a main constituent of the upper mantle) undergoes a transformation to the denser wadsleyite in the mid-mantle.
Buoyancy driven segregation is much more important in creating density layers in the Earth. Due to buoyancy, a very dense packet of material (e.g., subducting plate) in the Earth's mantle will sink. A light packet of material (e.g., melt) will rise. In the early portion of Earth's history, material differentiated based on density such that the denser material segregated towards the center of the Earth. So, the very dense pure metals segregated to the core, the very light melts that eventually became continental crust segregated to the surface, and there is a whole spectrum in between.

Is gravity dependent on density?
In general no, density is defined as the amount of mass per volume. However for materials on Earth it might indirectly, because gravity might cause additional pressure and thus increase the density. Consider air for example, the air pressure (and thus density) is higher here than 10 kilometers up because gravity pulls the air towards Earth.
Does air pressure increase with the altitude?
No, air pressure decreases with altitude. As you go farther towards earth's surface, the weight of the atmosphere presses down with increasing force.
How does the density of the atmosphere change as altitude increases?
Answer 1 - Air Density varies with AltitudeIf all other factors remain the same, then air density will decrease as altitude increases. Answer 2 - Another OpinionAs the altitude increase, the density decrease so the air velocity increase so the air pressure decrease and as a result we got a large amount of air mass flow rate
How can you increase quickness of a thermometer?
The response time of a thermometer may be reduced by making its mass as small as possible. Which leads towards a non-contact method of measuring temperature - such as optical.
When light passes from a low density object to a high density object its speed will?
bend towards the normal or it's speed will decrease
Does the air increase or decrease towards the surface with a high pressure?
Air density and pressure increase nearer the surface
Does air pressure increase as you go towards the center of a hurricane?
No. Air pressure decreases.
How does air pressure and air temperature change as you travel towards the center of a hurricane?
Air pressure decreases while temperature increases.
Does air pressure increase or decrease towards the center of the hurricane?
Air pressure decreases at the center (eye) of a hurricane

Does the food cook easily in pressure cooker because the average kinetic energy if the particles of gas is directly proportional to the kelvin temperature of the gas?
Increasing the pressure the temperature also increase and cooking is faster. In a normal, uncovered pot, the temperature of the liquid will increase until it reaches the boiling point, and then stabilize at that temperature. The reason that a pressure cooker can improve on cooking times is that the boiling point is a function of the ambient pressure. An uncovered pot at sea level will boil at a higher temperature than the same uncovered pot in Mexico City or Denver or any other high altitude city. A pressure cooker allows the temperature to go higher because the pressure of the vapor above the liquid is contained so the boiling temperature can go higher and thus the food inside is subject to is higher temperatures. As far as kinematic energy is concerned - yes - that will be true. Higher temperatures mean higher average kinematic energy for the molecules and it tends towards being proportional to the Kelvin temperature as long as you are still well below the critical temperature and pressure of the fluid.
Why there is a decrease of temperature of 0.6 degree in each 100 m from the sea level?
As we move towards heights the external pressure decreases due to which temperature decreases.
Does air pressure increase with the altitude?
No, air pressure decreases with altitude. As you go farther towards earth's surface, the weight of the atmosphere presses down with increasing force.
Why A dam has broader world at the bottom than at the top?
Due to the that the pressure exerted by a liquid increase with its depth. Thus as depth increase, more and more pressure is exert by water on the wall of dam. A thick wall is required to withstand a great pressure, therefore, the wall of the dam is made with thickness increasing towards the base
Why doesn't the temperature in the atmosphere steadily increase or decrease as you move from earth's surface toward space?
The temperature in the atmosphere doesn't steadily increase or decrease as you move away from Earth's surface towards space because at the point where the atmospheric layers intersect, the temperature remains constant, just like when water changes state.
Where is the low pressure service port in a 95 Dodge Stratus?
