The temperature of continental crust can vary depending on its depth and location, but on average, it ranges from about 212 to 1600 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature gradient is due to the geothermal gradient, which is the rate at which temperature increases with depth in the Earth's crust. At the surface, continental crust can experience temperatures closer to the ambient air temperature, while deeper within the crust, temperatures can reach much higher levels due to the heat generated by the Earth's internal processes.
