Pressure. During your journey to the center of Earth, your instruments record an increase in pressure in the surrounding rock. Pressure results from a force pressing on an area. Because of the weight of the rock above, pressure inside Earth increases as you go deeper. The deeper you go, the greater the pressure.
Geothermal Gradient....as you go deeper and deeper into the earth the pressure increases, which in turn increases the temperature...the geothermal gradient. As a plate is subducted (dives under) another plate, the part that is plunging into the crust will eventually be under enough pressure that it will begin to melt. The molten rock is lower in density then the surrounding material, and will migrate towards the surface.
