when going from a depth of 4,000 meters in earth to a depth of 6,000 meters, the pressure would

Explanation:

For the first question: As depth within the Earth decreases (from 5,000 m to 2,500 m), temperature generally decreases because the deeper parts of the Earth are hotter due to geothermal heat. So the temperature would decrease.
For the second question: As depth within the Earth increases (from 4,000 m to 6,000 m), pressure increases because there is more overlying material pressing down. So the pressure would increase.

Answer:

When going from a depth of 5,000 meters in Earth to a depth of 2,500 meters, the temperature would decrease.
When going from a depth of 4,000 meters in Earth to a depth of 6,000 meters, the pressure would increase.
