Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Due to increase in pressure and presence of heavier materials like Nickel and Iron towards the centre, the density of earth’s layers also gets on increasing towards the centre. The average density of the layers gets on increasing from crust to core and it is nearly 14.5g/cm3 at the very centre.
Detailed explanation-2: -As you go deeper in depth, pressure increases. Density = mass/volume. The layers beneath us due to pressure get packed to the point of being very dense.
