The high temperature inside the Earth is primarily caused by the heat generated from the decay of radioactive elements, as well as the residual heat from the planet's formation billions of years ago. This heat is trapped within the Earth's layers, leading to its high temperature.

Why value of 'g' decreases when you go inside the earth?

Because the value of "g" varies directly with the sum of the masses of the two bodies acted upon by the force of gravity. If you go inside the earth, only part of the mass of the earth will be attracting you toward its center; the mass of the part of the earth that is farther from the center than you are will be attracting you away from the center. If it were possible to reach the center of the earth, the value of "g" would reach zero because the mass of the earth would be acting upon equally you in all directions.


How is a gardeners greenhouse a miniature version of the greenhouse effect?

The greenhouse effect is called that becouse the earth naturally acts like a greenhouse but with the gases (like CO2) going up into the air, the barrier around the earth that acts like a greenhouse, makes the barrier stronger and that makes the earth get more warmer. So...The more greenhouse gases we produce the warmer the earths temperture would be


What are seasons created by?

Seasons are created on the degrees of the earths axis and what stage the earth is in on going around the sun. If the Northern Hemisphere has summer then the southern Hemisphere has to have Winter for the N.H( Northern Hemisphere) has more exposure to the sun. As the earth orbits around the sun the N.H. and the S.H. have the same amount of Summer and Winter, but just at different times.


What is the natural process that keeps the Earth's atmosphere warm?

The natural process is called The Greenhouse Effect.The presence of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere in moderate amounts prevent the heat by sun rays from going out to the space by reflecting it back to the surface of the earth and thus keeping it warm, and that's also how excess amount of CO2 causes global warming.

What causes the effect of microgravity when the space shuttle is orbiting the earth?

When the space shuttle is orbiting the Earth, the effect of microgravity is caused by the spacecraft and everything inside it being in free fall towards the Earth. The sensation of weightlessness occurs because both the shuttle and any objects inside are falling at the same rate, creating the illusion of zero gravity.

How does the temperature change going from layer to layer?

As you move from the Earth's core to the surface, the temperature generally decreases. However, within the Earth's layers, there are fluctuations in temperature due to various factors like the material composition and heat generation processes. Generally, the temperature increases deeper into the Earth due to geothermal heat.


Why does the inside temperature on your thermostat keep going up and the air conditioner will not shut off?

Recharge the coolant or replace faulty thermostat.


How is temperature created?

The temperature is created by a heat wave passing by underground.When a heat wave i passing at a slow pace it is cooled down which creates a low temperature when it is going very very slow it causes freezing temperatures.

What could cause global ocean level to change?

What could cause this is that with global warming the earth's total temperature is going up which causes the Ice bergs and caps to melt slowly. Over time the water adds up and increases the water level of the ocean.

It sounds like your temperature sender (on top of the engine) is faulty allowing it to earth out, or the wire going to the sender may be touching a earth.
