What layer of the earth has a temperatures reaching up to 11000 degrees Fahrenheit?

The inner core of the Earth is the hottest layer, with temperatures reaching up to 11,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The inner core is made of solid iron and nickel, despite the extreme temperatures, due to the immense pressure at that depth.


What is 5000 - 6000 degrees Celsius in Fahrenheit?

The temperature range 5000 - 6000 °C corresponds to a range of 9000 - 11000 °F. (exactly 5000 °C is equal to 9032 °F, exactly 6000 °C is equal to 10832 °F) The conversion formula is Fahrenheit temperature = (9/5 x Celsius temperature)+ 32


Earth travels in an orbit as it revolves earths axis is always tilted in the same direction?

No ONE direction ALWAYS. The direction of the Earth's axis changes over the eons. The pattern that the axis draws on the celestial sphere is roughly circular (the precession) making one revolution about every 23000 years but there are small dips too (nutations) which complicate matters. Right now the axis points almost towards the star we call Polaris (it pointed closes sometime in 2007). in 11000 years it will point close to the star we now call Vega. Earth's axis of rotation is precessing, so that the direction in which the north pole points is tracing a circle in the sky. But that's happening so slowly that during the course of a person's lifetime, it appears to point permanently toward the same spot. That spot is presently very close to the star called Polaris ... the 'North Star'.


What caused the last ice age over 11000 years ago?

The last ice age, known as the Last Glacial Maximum, occurred due to a combination of factors such as changes in the Earth's orbit and tilt, which affected solar radiation distribution, as well as the release of volcanic aerosols and greenhouse gases. These factors led to the cooling of the climate and the expansion of ice sheets across much of the Northern Hemisphere.
