Radioactive decay!
Temperature of the oceanic crust
it depends on the deepth
By constant weathering and erosion over long periods of time, other variables are polar magnitism and hot temperature below earth crust which causes high pressure melting the rock
The closer the layer is at the Earth's core, the warmer it gets.
Pressure and radioactivity.
The temperature increases with increasing depth within Earth's crust.
The temperature increases with increasing depth within Earth's crust.

It stresses it and causes cracks.
In general, the temperature decreases towards the surface.
It causes it to deform - this deformation is called "strain".
both temperature and pressure increase
Both temperature and pressure increase.
Deformation occurs
