(Q020) Identify the true statement. a. The geothermal gradient is the rate of change in pressure with depth in the Earth. b. The temperature at the Earth's center may almost equal the temperature of the Sun's surface. c. The calculated density at the Earth's center makes scientists almost certain that the inner core is composed of diamond. d. The pressure at the Earth's center is less than 300 times greater than normal atmospheric pressure.
Answer: b. The temperature at the Earth's center may almost equal the temperature of the Sun's surface.
Explanation:
The Earth's core is very very hot due to various factors such as heat from radioactive materials decaying and the heat the earth had when it was formed. It is estimated that the temperature here is around 5,200° C which means that it can melt even Tungsten.
This is almost equal to the surface temperature of the sun which is around 5,500° C.
