As you get closer to the center of the Earth, temperature, pressure, and density increase. The temperature rises due to the heat generated from radioactive decay and residual heat from the planet's formation. Pressure increases because of the weight of the overlying rock and materials, while density rises due to the compaction of materials under immense pressure and the transition of certain minerals into denser forms.

What describes Earth's gravity?
Earth's gravity is a force that pulls objects towards its center. It gives weight to objects and keeps the Moon in orbit around the Earth. The strength of Earth's gravity decreases with distance from its center.
Why does the earth pull all things closer?
gravity
Why is gravity stronger at the poles?
You are closer to the center of the earth at the poles, r is smaller in g=GM/r2
How do you increase the gravitational pull between two objects?
Either bring them closer together, or increase the mass of one or both of them... As in the case of the earth, and the moon - that would do it (and subsequently, kill us all)... Remember that we are about 4,000 miles from the center of the earth, standing on the ground at sea level... When you double that distance (from the earth's core center), you weight about 1/4 of what you did at sea level... And every doubling of your distance, will have the same net effect (1/4 the pull of gravity, at any point twice as far as the reference measurement)... (Jett Enterprises - Westlake, Ohio)
Do objects become lighter as they get closer to the center of the earth?
Objects masses would not change, but the pull of gravity on an object from another object when the first is inside the other is effectively zero when the inside is at the center of mass of the outer. If the Earth were a thick walled but hollow sphere, objects would stick (weakly) to the inside surface as well as the outer.
Does pressure increase or decrease as you travel to the center of the earth?
It increases. The closer you get to the Earth's core - the higher the pressure (and temperature).
What two things increase as you head to the center of the earth?
pressure and temperature
What happens to the temperature and pressure as you get closer to the center of the earth?
As you get closer to the center of the Earth, both temperature and pressure increase. The temperature increases due to the Earth's core being composed of hot, molten metal, while pressure increases due to the weight of the overlying material pressing down on the layers below.
What happens as you get closer to the center of the earth?
As we get closer to the center of the earth, the gravity of earth increases and the heat too increases...thats what i think.

When gravity increase when the center of the earth increase?
Gravity increases as you move closer to the center of the Earth due to the concentration of mass in that area. However, once you are inside the Earth, the gravitational force actually decreases as you approach the center because the mass beneath you pulls you in different directions, effectively canceling out. Therefore, while gravity increases with the overall mass of the Earth, it decreases as you move toward the center. The gravitational force is strongest at the surface and decreases to zero at the exact center.
What happens to the temperature as you travel closer to the center of the earth?
It gets hotter
What happen to the temperature as you travel closer to the center of the earth?
It gets hotter
Why does the earth pull all things closer?
gravity
What happened to the earth as gravity crushed the rock at its center?
To some extent, the crushing of rock at the earth's center would cause compression of the earth's 'underpinnings' and, it would get slightly smaller. Additionally, now being closer to the main Mass of the Earth would slightly increase the pull of gravity (Acceleration due to Gravity) seen on the earth's surface.
Does earth pressure increase from the surface to the center?
Yes it does
What pulls things towards the center of the earth?
