The inferred temperature and pressure of Earth's
interior at a depth of 3,000 kilometers are
approximately
(1) 1000°C and 0.5 million atmospheres
(2) 1000°C and 1.0 million atmospheres
(3) 5000°C and 1.5 million atmospheres
(4) 5000°C and 3.0 million atmospheres

Answer 1

(4) 5000°C and 3.0 million atmospheres

Step-by-step explanation:

The inferred temperature is 5000°C and pressure of Earth's interior is 3.0 million atmospheres at a depth of 3,000 kilometers. At the depth of 3000 kilometers, core of the earth is present which is very hot and it is mostly consist of iron. The inner core has a radius of about 1,220 kilometers while the outer core is about 1,400 miles thick which comprise of iron, Nickle, gold, platinum, and uranium elements.
