Thermal and transport properties of mantle rock at high pressure
For the high pressure range in super-Earths, however, the results of the Keane theory and Stacey and Davis (2004), which we term Keane–Stacey theory, and their infinite pressure limit constraints (Eq. (7)) seem to be appropriate. However, we clearly have to bear in mind that we still lack experimental knowledge about the physics at high ...

Layers of the Earth
The core, for example, has temperatures similar to the Sun's surface and pressures more than 3 million times atmospheric pressure. The Earth's density also increases with depth, from around 2.2 g/cm³ in the crust to over 13 g/cm³ in the core. This density gradient is due to both increasing pressure and changes in composition.

Air Movement | Earth Science
Air flows horizontally at top of the troposphere; horizontal flow is called advection. The air cools until it descends. Where it reaches the ground, it creates a high pressure zone. Air flowing from areas of high pressure to low pressure creates winds. Warm air can hold more moisture than cold air.

The Coriolis Effect: Earth's Rotation and Its Effect on …
Cyclones are low-pressure systems that suck air into their center, or "eye." In the Northern Hemisphere, fluids from high-pressure systems pass low-pressure systems to their right. As air masses are pulled into cyclones from all directions, they are deflected, and the storm system—a hurricane —seems to rotate counter-clockwise.

Earth's Core-Mantle Boundary: Results of Experiments at High
Laboratory experiments document that liquid iron reacts chemically with silicates at high pressures (≥2.4 × 10 10 Pascals) and temperatures. In particular, (Mg,Fe)SiO 3 perovskite, the most abundant mineral of Earth's lower mantle, is expected to react with liquid iron to produce metallic alloys (FeO and FeSi) and nonmetallic silicates …

Do Winds Always Blow From High Pressure to Low Pressure?
Tornadoes and Hurricanes. The extreme winds of tornadoes and hurricanes also result from pressure differences. The extremely small distance between the high-pressure outer layer and the low-pressure core can generate wind speeds exceeding 200 mph. The Beaufort Wind Scale rates these winds based on observed phenomena.

The rock cycle (article) | The geosphere | Khan Academy
The rock cycle describes how rocks on Earth form and change over time. When rocks are pushed deep below Earth's surface, they can melt to form magma. Magma that reaches Earth's surface through volcanic activity is called lava. Igneous rocks form when magma or lava cools and solidifies. Weathering breaks igneous and other types of rocks into ...
