The temperature increases. The average geothermal gradient is 25C/Km
both temperature and pressure increase
The solid portion of the Earth is known as the crust. Much of the interior is liquid stone, or magma, because of the high temperature. The core is thought to be liquid iron. -Also known as the LITHOSPHERE (:
MantleCrustcore
From the Earth's crust to the inner core is about 3,950 miles.
The four main layers of the Earth are the crust, the mantle, the outer core and the inner core. The temperature in the mantle is estimated to be about 1000 degrees Celsius. Temperature in the inner core can reach up to 3700 degrees Celsius.
The pressure would decrease as you moved from the core to the crust.

In general, the temperature decreases towards the surface.
