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).
The bowhead whale, which lives exclusively in the Arctic, has the thickest blubber of all whales. It can reach a whopping 70cm in thickness. These whales also have the longest baleen â the comb-like structures hanging down from their upper jaws used as a sieve to filter food from the sea-water.
