What is the depth of the center of the earth in feet?

The center of the Earth is approximately 3,959 miles (6,371 kilometers) from the surface. Converting this distance to feet, the depth to the center of the Earth is about 20,902,880 feet.


Pressure increases with depth toward the center of Earth. In which layer would you expect pressure to be the greatest?

At the very center.


Who discovered center of earth?

The center of the Earth has not been discovered because it lies at a depth of approximately 6,400 kilometers below the Earth's surface, which is beyond our current technological capabilities to reach.


What is the total depth of the Earth from the surface to center (radius)?

The total depth of the Earth from the surface to its center is approximately 6,371 kilometers (about 3,959 miles). This measurement represents the average radius of the Earth, as the planet is not a perfect sphere but slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator. Consequently, the depth can vary slightly depending on the location, but 6,371 kilometers is widely accepted as the standard figure.


Is it cold in the center below the earth's surface?

its hot and the deeper you go the hotter it gets


Is it hotter underground?

Yes, it is generally hotter underground compared to the Earth's surface. The temperature increases with depth due to geothermal heat from the Earth's core. The increase in temperature is dependent on factors such as location and depth.


How much will you have to dig to reach the center of the earth?

You would have to dig approximately 3,959 miles to reach the center of the Earth, but that's not realistically possible due to extreme heat and pressure beyond a certain depth.


Why do geologists think that the temperature increases with depth?

Geologists think that the temperature increases with depth because of the geothermal gradient, which is the rate at which temperature rises with depth in the Earth's crust. This gradient is a result of the Earth's internal heat and the slow conduction of heat from the mantle to the crust.


Pressure increases with depth toward the center of the earth in which layer would you expect pressure to be the greatest?

At the very center.


How hot is the center of the core?

There is no way to measure the temperature at the Earth's core directly. We know from mines and drill holes that, near the surface of the Earth, the temperature increases by about 1 degree Fahrenheit for every 60 feet in depth. If this temperature increase continued to the center of the Earth, the Earth's core would be 100,000 degrees Celsius! But nobody believes the Earth is that hot; the temperature increase must slow down with depth and the core is probably about 3000 to 5000 degrees Celsius.


Why does the earths density increase with depth?

The Earth's density increases with depth because of the increasing pressure from the layers of material above. As you move deeper into the Earth, the weight of the material above compresses the layers below, causing them to become more compact and increase in density. Additionally, the heavier elements tend to sink towards the center of the Earth, further contributing to the overall increase in density with depth.


Point at which the Ocean closest to center of the earth?

The point closest to the Earth's center (-6,353 km (3,948mi) is probably at the bottom of the Arctic Ocean (greatest depth 5,450 m (17,881 ft) near the Geographic North Pole (the bottom of the Mariana Trench is 6,366.4 km (3,956mi) from the center of the Earth), sometimes called Polar Deep.
