well it is either the crust, the stiffer mantle, the outer core, or the inner core.

What part of earth has the greatest density?

the core


Is temperature earth science?

Since the Earth's temperature changes, the study of that will be part of Earth Science. But there are lots and lots of other things about the earth, besides temperature, that is part of Earth Science. Also, other things besides the Earth change temperature ,so many other kinds of science, besides Earth Science, study the effects of temperature .


What part of Earth's mantle is near the outer core?

The Earth comprises:-Continental crust: depth of 0-75 kilometres: Oceanic crust: depth of 0-10 kilometresUpper mantle: depth of 10-400 kilometresTransition region: depth of 400-650 kilometresLower mantle: depth of 650-2,890 kilometresD" layer: depth of 2,700-2,890 kilometresOuter core: depth of 2,890-5,150 kilometresInner core: depth of 5,150-6,370 kilometres


How do temperature and pressure change with increasing depth in the earth?

They both increase because there is more matter pressing down on you and as you reach the inner core it gets hotter because the core is the hottest part of the Earth. When in the center of the earth, there is less and less air from the top of the earth. in the very center there is none. All of that nothingness of simple dirt in the core makes it very hard to not be heated and pressurized.


What is the temperature of the earths asthenosphere in degrees celsius?

The asthenosphere lies just below the lithosphere and composes the upper part of the Earth's mantle. Its temperature is 1300 degrees Celsius.

Why is the iron in the Earth's crust part liquid?

Iron in the Earth's crust is solid. The melting point of iron is 1811 K, 1538 °C, 2800 °F. The temperature of the crust increases with depth to around 200 °C (392 °F) to 400 °C (752 °F) at the boundary with the mantle below. As depth increases further, so does temperature and pressure. About 2800 kilometers below the Earth, the temperature is high enough that the outer part of the Earth's core is molten metal, an iron and nickle mixture. That is about 2000 kilometers thick and then it appears to become solid again at the very center.

South


Which part of earth's surface has the greatest rotational speed about Earth's axis. Which part has the greatest linear speed relative to Earth's axis?

In the case of a solid rotating object, the rotational speed is the same for all parts. The linear speed is greatest at points that are furthest from the axis of rotation - in other words, at the equator.
