One reason the temperature is hotter deep in the earth is because of the tremendous pressures. Pressure creates heat, heal melts rocks maintaining the hot temperatures.

What happens to the temperature and density of the material in the earth?

As you go deeper into the Earth, both temperature and density increase. The increase in temperature is due to the Earth's molten core and radioactive decay in the mantle. Density increases because of the weight of the overlying rock pushing down on the material below.


What happens to the temperatures of the rocks as the earth layers go deeper into the earth?

Well when the '' rock'' gets further into earth the atmosphere prevents us by getting hit and make a hole . So it burns down into a little rock. Since the moon has no atmoshpere when the astroids come it makes a crater ( kinda like a hole ) and thats why people say that it has a face . The Temperature changes because the atmosphere make it burn up. A Atmospere is like a pole that goes thru earth and dosent let craters make a crater. Our Atmosphere is made out of gas and oxegen that lets us breath.


Is the earth crust hot?

The crust is the cool part of the Earth. It is the surface we live on. It should be at a comfortable temperature until it reaches down to the mantle, the next layer. That area will be hotter. Then at the center, is the core. That is the hot part of the Earth's interior. It is about 3500° C. Estimates vary from 2000 to 7000, but it is HOT!About 447 in Fahrenheit


Why do I feel hotter at night?

You may feel hotter at night because your body temperature naturally rises and falls throughout the day, with it typically being at its highest in the late afternoon and early evening. Additionally, your metabolism slows down during sleep, which can make you feel warmer.


How do pressure and temperature change inside earth as depth increase?

Is Saturn hotter than Mars?

Saturn is both hotter and colder than Earth. Saturn is a gas giant planet with a deep atmosphere of hydrogen, crushingly dense near the rocky core. The outer clouds are too cold, more than a hundred degrees below freezing, but the pressure farther down raises the temperature to hotter than the surface of the Sun.


How does solid rock usually become magma?

As rock is pushed down toward the the Earth's center it gets hotter and hotter.


How does the temperature change going from layer to layer?

As you move from the Earth's core to the surface, the temperature generally decreases. However, within the Earth's layers, there are fluctuations in temperature due to various factors like the material composition and heat generation processes. Generally, the temperature increases deeper into the Earth due to geothermal heat.

How do we know that earth is hot?

Heat escapes from the inside of the Earth. This can be used for geothermal energy. If you drill deep down inside the Earth, deeper down it is hotter than at the surface.


Does lava get hotter or colder?

Lava (and any other material) will cool down if it is surronded by material that is at a lower temperature than itself and heat up if the surrounding material is hotter. By definition, lava is molten rock that has been erupted onto the earth's surface. As such it is surrounded by material that is at a much lower temperature than itself so will lose heat and so decrease in temperature.


What is the coldest and hottest temperature of a coral reef?

It depends how far deep it is. The farther down the colder it is


Why is water hotter in kitchen and not in shower?

The kitchen is probably closest to the water heater and the shower is the farthest. Water cools down the farther it travels through the pipes.
