As you go deeper into the earth the temperature increase. The rate at which the temperature increases is called the geothermal gradient.

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.


Where can hot solids and metal be found?

Deeper near the core and mantle. The deeper you go, the hotter it gets.


as goes deeper in mantle , the temperature increases from __________?

1000 degrees celsius to 3,700 degrees celsius


Where is the temperature of the mantle greater point a or point b?

The temperature of the mantle is greater at Point B than Point A. The temperature of the mantle is determined by its depth which is greater at Point B than Point A. The deeper the mantle the hotter and more pressurized it is and so the temperature at Point B will be greater than at Point A.Temperature can also be affected by other factors such as the composition of the mantle and the presence of radioactive elements. In this case since both points are in the same area and have similar composition the temperature will be determined by the depth.To summarize the temperature of the mantle is greater at Point B than Point A because it is deeper and thus more pressurized and hot.


What is the temperature as you go deeper in the water?

The deeper you go, the colder it gets. It is further away from the surface which is heated by the sunlight.


What happens to the temperature and density of the material in the earth?

As you go deeper into the Earth, both temperature and density increase. The increase in temperature is due to the Earth's molten core and radioactive decay in the mantle. Density increases because of the weight of the overlying rock pushing down on the material below.


What are the relationship between depth and temperature?

the deeper you go, generally the colder it gets


Mantle layer with more convection Mantle layer with less convection?

The mantle layer with more convection is the upper mantle, which has a higher temperature and undergoes vigorous convection currents. In contrast, the lower mantle has less convection due to its higher pressure and lower temperature, leading to slower convective movement.


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.
