What is the sphere that extends from earths core to earths crust?
You may be referring to the geosphere.
Why is an earthquake less likely to happen at the center of the earths crust?
Because earthquakes are the result of two plates rubbing together. For example, if two plates are being forced into each other they may create what is called a subduction zone. One plate will be forced underneath the other. This quite obviously will cause some friction and maybe even some lifting of one of the plates. once the force becomes large enough to overcome that friction the plates will slip. An earthquake is what we feel on the surface when that happens. As to why they are not likely to happen in the center of the earths crust, The shock waves from this type of event will dissipate in the earth long before they get there.
What is the difference between a dike and a batholith?
Dikes ; tubular in shape and may be only a few centimeters wide. Batholith ; large plutons that cover an area of an area of atleast 100 km squared when they are exposed on earths surface.
How do intrusive igneous rocks become visible in the surface of earth?
it easly wears away and can travel by magma streams or rivers or could wear away into particles called protons and gets blown away by the wind.it can then land somewhere to slowly collect more particles to form an igneous rock in a random place
Why are people unevenly distributed on the earths surface?
Because some areas are much harder to live in: too cold, too hot, too dry, too wet, not fit to raise food on. The population tends to gather where it's easier to grow food and find water and other resources that they need. Please look at this answer and try to understand the meaning. Your teacher may ask you to put it in your own words.
What is an opening in earths surface from which lava may flow?
volcanoes
What is an earthquake that may be far below the earths surface?
it is called the interior
How do mudslides affect earths surface?
The Earth may shift downward and may cause great damage.
What rises to the surface and may create a volcanic center?
pressure under the surface
How do hurricanes and cyclones affect the surface of the earth?
Hurricanes may move debris and water droplets causing there to be a minor change in the earths surface.
What is the Flow of magma through the earths surface called?
I believe the answer you may be looking for is either Lava or a Volcano
Is the sun the star at the center of our universe?
NO ... it is the center of our solar system. That is, all our local planets revolve around it. Our solar system revolves around the center of the galaxy, about once every 220 million years. As for the universe itself, it has no center. Imagine the surface of a soap bubble. Where is its center? The surface HAS no center, as our universe may be geometrically represented by the surface of an expanding sphere.
What is the temperature of earths innercore?
The Wikipedia article on "Earth" mentions that at the center, the temperature "may" be up to 6000 degrees Celsius.
What are the release dates for Two Miles Below the Surface of the Earth - 2009?

What is Venus' gravity compared to earth?
The gravity on the surface of Venus is 0.904 of that on the surface of Earth. You may find the related link below useful.
When you drop something from high up will it set on fire?
No, unless it's 'dropped' from many miles above the earths surface. If it's going fast enough, it may burn up due to the friction generated as it passes through atmosphere, high up in the Thermosphere.
When large masses of magma solidify far below earths surface and large crystals form what do they exhibit?
The crystals may display a "Crescumulate texture".
