The melting temperature would drop. If it dropped to a point below the in-situ temperature, melting of the inner core would occur.

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.


Which of the earth's layers would be best modeled as a metallic sphere?

The Earth's inner core is composed mainly of iron and nickel in a solid state due to high pressure and temperature. Therefore, the Earth's inner core would be best modeled as a metallic sphere.


What would happen if the earths atmosphere was halved?

Very bad things would happen....I don't know much but hey, at least it would show people who don't belive in global warming. Which is the stuupidest name for a global catasterophy cus, its actually getting clolder.


Do currents of cold sinking air produce regions of higher pressure or lower pressure at the earths surface?

Currents of cold sinking air produce regions of higher pressure at the Earth's surface. As air sinks, it compresses and becomes denser, leading to an increase in pressure at the surface. This high pressure often leads to fair weather and clear skies.


How typhoon is made?

typhoons form when the following conditions are met Their is a low pressure area The water is warm (around 80'F) the low pressure and warm water allow the water to evaporate and condense very rapidly and the earths spin causes the typhoon to spin. However this does not happen around the equator as the force of the earths rotation is not strong enough. This is a good thing as if it did not happen like this the areas there would have an endless hurricane season
