Temperature and pressure increase massively from earth's surface to the centre of the Earth. At the inner core, the pressure is so great that iron is solid, even at such high temperatures.

Pressure increases with depth toward the center of the earth in which layer would you expect pressure to be the greatest?
At the very center.
Do the winds in a northern hemisphere cyclone spiral counterclockwise away or toward its center?
Toward the center. The low pressure sucks air inward.
How are winds affected by areas of high pressure?
In zones where air ascends, the air is less dense than its surroundings and this creates a center of low pressure. Winds blow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, and so the surface winds would tend to blow toward a low pressure center. In zones where air descends back to the surface, the air is more dense than its surroundings and this creates a center of high atmospheric pressure. Since winds blow from areas ofhigh pressureto areas oflow pressure, winds spiral outward away from the high pressure. The Coriolis Effect deflects air toward the right in the northern hemisphere and creates a general clockwise rotation around the high pressure center. In the southern hemisphere the effect is just the opposite, and winds circulate in a counterclockwise rotation about the high pressure center. Such winds circulating around a high pressure center are calledanticyclonic windsand around a low pressure area they are calledcyclonic winds.
Earths surface winds blow from regions of higher what?
Air pressure toward regions of lower air pressure
Why does heat from earths center flow toward the surface?
it flows because if convection currents
Does pressure increase from earths surface toward the center of earth?
Yes.
What happens to the pressure as you travel toward the center of the earth?
pressure increases and "bunches up"
How does pressure change as you go from the surface toward the center if the earth?
The pressure increases as you go deeper. The deeper you go the greater the pressure
How does pressure change as you go from the surface toward the center if earth?
The pressure increases as you go deeper. The deeper you go the greater the pressure
What happens to a bubble released at the bottom of the ocean?
It becomes larger as it is rising toward the surface because there is pressure pushing on the bubble

How does the pressure change as you go from the toward the center of earth?
The pressure gets more dence
What best describes the pressure in a middle-latitude cyclone?
Pressure decreases toward the center
What best describes the pressure in a middle -latitude cyclone?
Pressure decreases toward the center
Does wind moves rapidly toward a high pressure center?
No. Winds move away from a high pressure center and towards a low pressure center. You can think of it as the low pressure sucking the air in.
How does the pressure change as you go from the surface toward the center of the earth?
its cause when you go down the air gets to thin and you get all happy and ur voice gets hi
