Answer:
1. When going from a depth of 5,000 meters in Earth to a depth of 2,500 meters, the temperature would decrease
2. When going from a depth of 4,000 meters in Earth to a depth of 6,000 meters, the pressure would increase
Explanation:
1. When going from a depth of 5,000 meters in Earth to a depth of 2,500 meters, the temperature would __________.
The temperature of the Earth interior progressively increases as you move toward the Earth's core, this deeper into the Earth.
The highest temperature in in the core (center) of the planet, and the profile of temperature goes from lower temperatures in the crust to higher temperatures in the core.
Three factors are belived to be responsible for the so hightemperatures in the core:
1. Heat from the formation of the planet
2. Friction generated by the movement of dense materials from the outer core toward the inner core.
3. Radioactivity of some elmenents in the interior of the crust.
Therefore, as when you go from a depth of 5,000 meters in Earth to a depth of 2,500 meters, you are going upward, farther away from the core; this is, to a colder spot. Thus, the answer is that the temperature would decrease.
2. When going from a depth of 4,000 meters in Earth to a depth of 6,000 meters, the pressure would __________.
The pressure of the Earth interior progressively increases as you move deeper into the Earth.
The reason is because the pressure is the result of the weight of the upper layers over the lower layers. The deeper you go inside the Earth the more the amount of material above that is exerting a force downward, pressing on the lower layers.
Hence, as you go from 4,000 meters in Earth to a depth of 6,000 meters, you are going deeper, then the pressure would increase.
