What happens to the temperature of the earth as you move from the core to the crust?
The temperature increases. The average geothermal gradient is 25C/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?
This is called the "geothermal gradient".
Why does temperature increase as the depth of soil increases?
The soil temperatre increases as depth increases due to the heat created by the compression of the surrounding earth. The rate of change of temperature with depth is referred to as the geothermal gradient. The geothermal gradient varies depending on location, so there is no uniform answer. On average, the geothermal gradient is approximately 75 degrees F per mile. In volcanically active areas, the gradient can be as high as 150 degrees F per mile. In ocean trenches, the gradient may be as low as 15 degrees F per mile. Decay of naturally occurring radioactive elements may also cause localized increases in temperature in some locations.
Where is geothermal located?
geothermal starts at the outer edge of the earth's crust and gets hotter the deeper you go. The gradual increase in the temperature as the depth increases is called the geothermal gradient. As you proceed through the crust the gradient is gradual. When you break through the upper mantle the temps then rise almost exponentially.
What is the geothermal gradient in the Earth's continental crust?
Varies obviously, but the average geothermal gradient in the Earth's continental crust is 25 degrees Centigrade/kilometre
Does NC typically have a steep shallow or intermediate geothermal gradient?
North Carolina has an intermediate geothermal gradient!
What happens to the temperature of the earth as you move from the core to the crust?
The temperature increases. The average geothermal gradient is 25C/Km
What is geothermal gradient?
Geothermal gradient is the rate of increasing temperature with respect to an increasing depth in the Earth's interior. It is approximately 25 degrees Celsius per kilometer of depth.
The increase in temperature with dept in the earth is called the what gradient?
geothermal
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?
This is called the "geothermal gradient".
The geothermal is about 25C for every 1km of depth below Earths surface?

Why is the geothermal gradient lower than average in subduction zonegeology?
because the oceanic crust lithospher descend into the mantle at the subduction zone .it will be taken to increasing higher temperature as it get deeper

The increase in temperature with depth in the Earth is called what?
It is called the geothermal gradient, which means that the closer to the mantel or core (underground) you go, the hotter it gets.
