because of the core (center of the Earth) emits immense heat.

Why would SO2 go down in solubility when temperature increases?
Gases in general are less soluble in liquids as the temperature increases (unlike solids, for which the opposite is true). This makes sense if you think about it: increased temperature means increased molecular motion, so a gas molecule is more likely to get kicked out of the solution and escape.
What do geologists think cause the earth's plates to move?
The movement of the Earth's plates is known as plate tectonics. Geologists think the plates move due to a build up of extreme heat in the Earth's crust.
How do geologists estimate the thickness and temperature of the layers of the earth?
How do they know this well let me begin with there is a lot of density or pressure I think I wouldn't put this down on worksheet for school but if it's for fun than go ahead read it as you already have by know.
What increases when the temperature of air increases?
I think you mean "when do air particles increase". they increase when you go lower in the atmosphere. this happens because even though air is lite it gets heavy as you go down in the atmosphere.
Why do geologists work backwards when studying rocks?
To find out about the past and to know what might happen in the futre i think
Why speed of light increases with depth of water?
I don't think it does.
As the depth of a glacier increases is there more pressure on the bottom leading to more heat?
I think the depth of a glacier depends on it height
How do geologists think earths atmosphere formed?

What are abiotic factors for the ocean?

How do you think temperature will effect transpiration in a plant?
Increase in temperature also increases the rate of evaporation of water, hence temperature will effect transpiration
Why the pressure of a gas increases when it's temperature increases?
A simple way to think about it is: the pressure is the force per unit of area that a gas exerts on it's container caused by the molecules colliding with the container's walls. As the temperature increases, the molecules have more energy and collide with more force, so the pressure increases.

How does the ocean floor spreading affect the depth of the ocean?
Think o the volume of a box. As the base gets larger in perimeter, the surface area of the box becomes greater, and the volume increases.
When sodium metal is dropped into a beaker of water a chemical reaction occurs that increases the temperature of the water This is an example of what?
You think probable to an exothermic reaction.
Why do balloons pop in sunlight and not in a shadow?
This is the best answer I can think of... In the sunlight, balloons receive energy from the infa-red radiation from the sun. pV=nRT... ie. for a balloon at roughly the same pressure, volume is proportional to temperature. This means that if temperature increases, volume of the balloon increases and so it pops.
