Explanation:
As you head toward the center of the Earth, temperatures increase exponentially. The Earth's core is a sphere of molten nickel and iron. ... As you move further and further away from the core, the crust cools to much colder temperatures all the way up to the surface. The Earth gets hotter as you move towards to center.

It changes due to the geothermal gradient.
- As one goes closer to the active core of the layers, the particular gradient precisely depicts how the Earth becomes heated.
- It represents the overall rate at which the temperature of the Earth rises with depth.
- Temperatures rise exponentially as one approaches the Earth's essential core, and as one moves away from the core, the crust cools sufficiently to considerably lower temperatures all the way up to the surface.
