As you move toward the center of the Earth, both pressure and temperature increase.
As you move toward the center of the Earth, both pressure and temperature increase. This is because the weight of the overlying rock and layers of the Earth cause the pressure to increase. Additionally, the heat generated by the Earth's core leads to an increase in temperature deeper within the Earth.
As you move toward the center of the Earth, both pressure and temperature increase. This is due to the immense weight of the overlying rocks and materials exerting pressure on the layers below. The deeper you go, the greater the weight, resulting in increased pressure. Additionally, the Earth's inner layers contain significant amounts of heat left over from its formation and radioactive decay. This heat increases the temperature as you move toward the core.
