Why is the geothermal gradient lower than average in subduction zonegeology?
Abhisinghkiss
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

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
How warm earth?
Earth's average temperature is about 14 or 15 degrees Celsius although it varies a few degrees depending on your source. The hottest temperature recorded on Earth was 70.7°C (159°F) in the Lut Desert in Iran.
A river originates 200 meters above sea level and travels 400 kilometers to the ocean What is the average gradient in meters per kilometer?
Meters per Kilometer M/K 2000 / 250 = 8 meters per kilometer
What is expected to happen during La Nina?
There is unusually low air pressure over the western tropical pacific.
How do you find instantaneous velocity from position time graph?
You can't, since the slope of the graph means average velocity and the area of the graph has no meaning. The only way to find instantaneous velocity from position-time gragh is by plugging the data into the kinematic equations to get the answer. Edit: Actually you can if you take the derivative of the equation of the curve it will give you the equation of the velocity curve
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
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
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.

How do you find the average of a line plot?
divide by the gradient
What is the average gradient of the Brahmaputra within Assam?

What is the average cost of a geothermal heat pump?
3500 - 5000 Canadian dollars
What is the ratio of the vertical distance to the horizontal distance?
It is a measure of the average gradient or slope.
How steep is the steepest road in the UK?
Steepest Road in the UK, Ffordd Penllech, Harlech
Can you die from geothermal?
Yes, you can die from the heat and poison gas. The geothermal vents near San Francisco, Ca. are not open to public viewing, because if the average person got too near them they could get injured or die.
How much is cost of installing geothermal systems?
The average cost to install a residential geothermal system is 10-30k depending on the type of heat pump you buy and the extent of underground piping. In 2009-2010 the US government is providing tax credits to help offset the cost of installation. To get an exact installation cost look up a local geothermal expert.
