Temperature increases as you go deeper inside Earth, with the highest temperatures ocurring in the core.

∙ 11y agoAs you start to tunnel beneath the surface, the surrounding rock is cool.Than about 20 meters down, your instruments report that the rock is getting warmer. For every 40 meters that you descend from that point, the temperature rises 1 Celsius degree. This rapid rise in temperature continues for several tens of kilometers. After that, the temperature increases more slowly, but steadily high temperatures inside Earth are the result of heat left over from the formation of the planet. In addition, radioactive substance inside Earth releases energy. This further heats the interior.

I hoped this helped :-)

What happens to the temperature of the rocks as layers go deeper into the Earth?
it gets hotter and the presure get harder
Why is it hot when we go deeper to the earth?
Because the center of the Earth (which is solid) is surrounded by a molten outer core of nickel/iron at a temperature of 6,000C, (as hot as the surface of the Sun). This heat is caused by the radioactive decay of heavy radioactive elements that sank to the core with the iron cascade.
Why would a person be unable to dig a tunnel all the way through the middle of earth?
No One Can't Dig A Tunnel In The Middle Of The Earth Because The Tempature Inside Earth Gets Hotter As You Go Deeper. It Is Around 9000F (5000C) In The Center. It Is So Hot Inside Earth That Rocks Melt.
What factor increases as you go deeper toward earths core?
Heat
Which part of the earth's interior is molten?
The Outer Core. It Is Classified As A Liquid...Not A Solid (Like you think it would be;; That's what I got confused on) The evidence we have is that Scientists and those study people send waves down into earth and when the waves slow down they have hit liquid and when hit something solid they speed up and the deeper you go into the earth, the hotter it gets obviously. Hope this helps!
How does the temperature change as you go deeper into the earth's interior?
Temperature increases as you go deeper inside Earth, with the highest temperatures ocurring in the core.
How do temperature and pressure as you go deeper into earth?
As you go deeper into the Earth, you very quickly reach a point where the temperature is constant year-round. Both temperature and pressure increase as you go deeper into the Earth.
How do temperature and pressure changed as you go deeper into earth?
As you go deeper into the Earth, you very quickly reach a point where the temperature is constant year-round. Both temperature and pressure increase as you go deeper into the Earth.
What does the temperature do when you go deeper into the earth?
increase
How does the mantle change as you go deeper into the Earth's interior?
The deeper into the Earth you go it gets hotter and hotter.
What is the temperature as it gets deeper into the mantle?
As you go deeper into the earth the temperature increase. The rate at which the temperature increases is called the geothermal gradient.
What happens as you go deeper into the earth?
Temperature and pressure increases.
As you go deeper into the earth what increases?
temperature and pressure density and the force of gravity
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
Compare how pressure and temperature change with depth inside earth?
when you go up in the air the more pressure you feel it is the same when you go deeper under water
What happens to temperature of the earth as you go deeper into the earth?
It gets hotter. About 1 degree F. every 100 feet.
