how does the pressure vary with depth towards the interior of the earth? give reason, (mark brainliest sure)
Answers
Answer:
depth increases the amount of pressure and force on the inner surface increases. This increases in pressure and force results in an increase in temperature
This is why the inner surface of the earth is molten space.
The Center of the earth was able to get so hot.
Temperature and pressure progressively increase with increased proximity to Earth's core.
Answer:
pressure under the surface of earth certainly have difference while compared to its outer surface.
Explanation:
Earth was once a molten ball revolving around the Sun mostly made of space debris like rocks and dusts. As time passes the outer skin of earth started to cool down by losing its heat to the atmosphere, while the core remains hotter.
Eventually, the surface of earth become harder and accommodated life on it. But, deep down the earth is still molten and mostly of Iron and other metals with some radio activity.
While surpassing the surface of earth towards the core, pressure and temperature will be higher every level. Scientists have calculated that the temperature of earth's core is 11,000 Fahrenheit which is way more than the surface temperature of Sun. Whereas the pressure would be between 30 to 360 gigapascals, because, the earth has no corners as it is a globe. So, all the weight will be centered towards its core.
