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

As the depth below the earths surface increases does the temperature increase?

For the most part, yes. (There are exceptions, of course.)


What part of earth has the greatest density?

The Earth's core has the greatest density. The inner core, composed mainly of solid iron and nickel, is even denser than the outer core, making it the densest part of the Earth.


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 .


Is the earth crust hot?

The crust is the cool part of the Earth. It is the surface we live on. It should be at a comfortable temperature until it reaches down to the mantle, the next layer. That area will be hotter. Then at the center, is the core. That is the hot part of the Earth's interior. It is about 3500° C. Estimates vary from 2000 to 7000, but it is HOT!About 447 in Fahrenheit


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.

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.

Can the hypothalamus influence respiratory rate and depth?

Yes. The hypothalamus is part of your autonomic nervous center and can influence rate and depth in response to pain and temperature changes


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.
