It is called the geothermal gradient, which means that the closer to the mantel or core (underground) you go, the hotter it gets.

What is the average rate of temperature increase below the earth's surface?
30 degrees Celsius for each kilometer of depth near Earth's surface
Does the temperature increase with depth on all the gas giants?
Yes it does.
Does the temperature of water decrease or increase with depth?
The shallower the water is, the warmer it can be. Direct sunlight will warm the water and as the water deepens, the warmth from the sun cannot reach as far. This creates a slightly colder temperature.
What is the relationship between temperature and depth earth?
below the surface of the earth, as we move deeper towards the core (HEAT's CAUSE) the temperature rises. this rise of temperature with depth is referred to as the geothermal gradient. in most parts of the world that are away from the plate boundaries, with every km depth an increase of 22 degrees Celsius in temperature is observed. Different areas show different geothermal gradients. in many parts of the world its as high as 30 degrees Celsius per Km and in some its as low as 15 degrees Celsius per Km.
What is the temperature of the interior of earth at a depth of 1000 km?
well that answer will be 6000 km - depths below surface of earth (km)
The increase in temperature with depth in the Earth is called the geothermal?
gradient
What is the term for the increase in temperature with depth in the Earth?

When depth into the earth increases so does?
Temperature and pressure increase with increased depth into the Earth.
Temperature and pressure increase with depth inside Earth - True or False?
True. Temperature and pressure both increase with increasing depth within the Earth.
What describes how temperature and pressure change with depth below Earth's surface?
Both temperature and pressure increase with depth.
What happen with temperature and pressure as earth's depth increases?
