The fluctuating temperatures in the core depend on pressure, the rotation of the Earth, and the varying composition of core elements. In general, temperatures range from about 4,400Â° Celsius (7,952Â° Fahrenheit) to about 6,000Â° Celsius (10,800Â° Fahrenheit).
Baleen whale (suborder Mysticeti), also called toothless whale, any cetacean possessing unique epidermal modifications of the mouth called baleen, which is used to filter food from water. Baleen whales seek out concentrations of small planktonic animals. The whales then open their mouth and take in enormous quantities of water. When the mouth is closed, they squeeze the water out through the sides, catching the tiny prey on the baleenâs bristles. (See also cetacean: Feeding adaptations).
How Baleen Whales Eat. Baleen whales include many of the largest whales in the sea, such as the blue whale. Instead of teeth, baleen whales have a substance called a baleen plate.. Since they have this plate, they must hunt and eat their food differently than toothed whales do.
