Pressure decreases as you move outward from the Earth's core. The farther you are from the center, the less mass you will have pressing down on your location. Mass that is underneath you (or in other words, closer to the center) does not press on you, only mass that is above will add to the pressure where you are.
What else can I help you with?
If iron melts at 1538 degrees and the earths core is at 5500 degrees why is it still a solid?
the 2 main variables which decide whether an element or compound is a solid, liquid, or gas, are temperature and pressure.Iron melts at 1538 degrees only when it is pure (which the core is not) and under atmospheric pressure. The iron in the earths inner core is under pressure equivalent to many thousands (if not millions) times that of atmospheric pressure, so it exists as a solid.
What earths layer has the greatest temperature and pressure?
The Earth's inner core has the greatest temperature, reaching up to around 5700 degrees Celsius. The layer with the greatest pressure is the inner core as well, with pressures exceeding 330 to 360 gigapascals.
The convention that causes earths magnetic field happens in earths?
core
What type of rock can be found in the Earths inner core?
The rock found in Earth's inner core is primarily composed of iron and nickel. This molten rock is in a state of extreme pressure and temperature, creating a solid inner core due to the immense pressure.
What happens to pressure as we move the crust to the inner core?
Pressure increases as we move from the crust towards the inner core of the Earth. This is due to the increased weight of the overlying rock layers exerting greater force on the materials below. The extreme pressure at the Earth's core is a key factor in maintaining the solid state of the inner core despite its high temperature.
What are Earths layers from outermost going inward?
From most dense at the core to least dense proceeding outward.
What happens in earths interior to produce earths magnetic?
The movements in the liquid inner core.
How Earths inner core is solid due to its?
The immense pressure from the layers outside of the inner core.
Why is there so much more pressure exerted on the earths core than the earths surface?
Pressure is the weight of an overlying column of material. The pressure at the core comes from 6400km of overlying rock, which is much denser than air
What happens in earths interior produce earths magnetic field?
The movements in the liquid inner core.
Do divergent plates go in or out?
they go in or out because of pressure from the earths core
Why do you think the iron at the earths core is partly liquid?
Heat and pressure.
What happens to the pressure as you go from the core to the crust of the earth?
The pressure would decrease as you moved from the core to the crust.
What happens to pressure as step increases from the lithosphere to core?
Pressure increases as step increases from the lithosphere to core
Are you closer to the earths core or moons surface when standing at sea level?
Earth's core
What process causes Earth's crust to be continuously formed by volcanic activity?
Pressure from the earths core
Earths inner core is solid because of?
Earths inner core is solid due to the extreme pressure from the weight of the layers above it, which exceeds the melting point of the iron and nickel it is composed of. This pressure prevents the core from melting despite its high temperature.
