What is the average rate of temperature increase below the earth's surface?
30 degrees Celsius for each kilometer of depth near Earth's surface
What is the temperature of the interior of earth at a depth of 1000 km?
well that answer will be 6000 km - depths below surface of earth (km)
Rock can melt at a depth of about below Earth's surface.?
Rock can melt from 600- 1200C, depending on the type of rock, but this is assuming 1atm pressure. Under the earth, there are higher pressures, increasing the melting point. So although the rock should have melted by the mantle, which is 500-4000C and at a depth 35-2900km below the surface, it is a silly putty-like plastic solid rather than a liquid. The earth only becomes liquid at a depth of 2900km in the earth's outer core, but that is made of metal, not rock, so essentially, none of it.
When would a granitic magma remain a magma beneath Earth's surface?
_when the magma remains below the depth at which magmas become solid _when the magma retains enough water to keep it from solidifying, regardless of depth
How do xenoliths and xenocrysts reach the surface?
They usually reach Earth's surface when they are entrained (carried along with) within molten material from depth that is erupted onto the earth's surface.
What is the depth below the surface in cm for the crust?
On the Earth's surface, the depth is between 8-64 kilometers.
What is the relationship between the density of earth materials and depth below the surface of the earth?
As the depth increases, the density increases also.
Rock can melt at a depth of about what degree below Earth's surface?
100km
Where do rocks melt?
At depths of about 50 to 200 km below Earth's surface Rocks melt at depths at 50 and 200 km below the Earth's surface.
What is the depth of earth surface in kilometers?
A surface has area but no depth. Therefore the Earth's Surface has a depth of 0.0 kilometers.
What describes how temperature and pressure change with depth below Earth's surface?
Both temperature and pressure increase with depth.
At which depth below Earth's surface is the density most likely 9.5 grams per cubic centimeter?
It's about 3,500 km below the Earth's surface. (For all Earth Science people)
What is the average rate of temperature increase below the earth's surface?
30 degrees Celsius for each kilometer of depth near Earth's surface
What is the depth of the transition zone?
between 410 and 660 kilometers below the earth's surface.
What is the relationship between the density of the earths materials and depth below the surface of the earth?
As the depth increases, the density increases also.
What do primary and surface waves have in common?
Both waves travel along Earth's surface and decrease in amplitude with depth below the surface.
What is the temperature of the interior of the earth at the depth of km?
well that answer will be 6000 km - depths below surface of earth (km)
