How is the temperature and pressure in the Earth's mantle related to the depth of the mantle?
The degree of temperature and exertion of pressure by the molten materials (magma) within the mantle is directly proportional to its depth. This means that, the deeper you go down the mantle the higher the degree of temperature and pressure exerted.
What happens to the temperature increase the number of particles what happens to the pressure?
Increasing the temperature the number of particles remain constant and the pressure increase.
Which combination of temperature and pressure is inferred to occur within earth's stiffer mantle?

What happens to a gas temperature at a given pressure?
In a closed system with constant pressure and no input or output of heat, the gas temperature will remain constant. In that same system, if the pressure is increased, then the gas temperature will also increase. If pressure is decreased, then the gas temperature will decrease.
Why does pressure have to be low in order for magma to form?
Because the temperature of the mantle is fairly constant and a decrease in a materials confining pressure will decrease its melting tempreature so mantle upwelling will lead to only small changes in tempraeture but a large decrease in confining pressure therefore the pressure loss is the dominat factor in melting.

Why can diamonds form in the mantle?
The weight of the rocks above the mantle results in high pressure.Diamonds need high temperatures and pressure to form from carbon. Diamonds form in the mantle in certain zones where conditions are right for them to do so.There just happens to be the right critical temperature-pressure-mineral environment in the mantle in certain zones for their formation.

Why are mantle rocks solid even though the Earth's interior temperature is very hot?
The melting temperature of materials is dependent on the pressure that is applied, whereby the higher the pressure, the higher the melting temperature. As such the rocks in the mantle are experiencing such a high pressure, that their melting point is driven up beyond the temperature within the Earth's mantle so they remain solid.
Where does the sun convert matter into energhy?
This happens at the Sun's center, where both the temperature and the pressure are greatest.This happens at the Sun's center, where both the temperature and the pressure are greatest.This happens at the Sun's center, where both the temperature and the pressure are greatest.This happens at the Sun's center, where both the temperature and the pressure are greatest.
How does pressure determine whether the mantle is solid or liquid?
The melting temperature of materials is affected by their confining pressure. The higher the pressure the higher the melting temperature. As such as you move deeper into the mantle, the tempraeture will increase, but because of the overlying material so to will the confining pressure which drives up the melting temperature. When high temperature mantle material moves nearer to the surface such as near a mid-ocean-ridge the confining pressure falls faster than the materials temperature and this can cause the melting point to drop below the temperature of the material leading to melting.
What are the main differences between the layers of mantle?
Mineralogy, pressure, temperature, and density differences exist among the 'layers' of the mantle.
What are three differences between the upper and lower mantle?
Temperature Density and Pressure
What is temperature range for lower mantle?
The temperature ranges from 932 to 1,652-degrees F, at the top, where it meets the crust, to 7,230-degrees F at the lower mantle. Temperature and pressure increase with depth.
What happens to pressure in a container while the temperature rises?
Answer The pressure increases when the temperature rises.
Why there are different properties in the mantle and core?
Their different properties are due to their chemistry, pressure, and temperature.
What happens to the temperature increase the number of particles what happens to the pressure?
Increasing the temperature the number of particles remain constant and the pressure increase.
