    Both temperature and pressure increase as you get closer to the Earth's centre.

    Explanation:

    The pressure increases as you go deeper because there is always more weight from above.

    The pressure goes from 1 atm at the surface to 3.5 * 10⁶ atm in the core.

    The core is hot because of

    residual heat from when the Earth was formed the energy released by decay of radioactive elements.

    Here's a table of approximate temperatures in the various layers.

    Layer T/°C

    Crust 300

    Upper mantle 1300

    Lower mantle 3300

    Outer core 4500

    Inner core 6000
