What else can I help you with?
What forms the elevated part of the earths crust?
continental crust
Energy drawn from heated water within earths crust is called?
Geothermal energy is from heated water within the earth's crust.
What do scientists believe that is happening to the segments of earths crust?
it has been washed into the oceans as the continental crust has eroded.
The increase in temperature with depth in the earth is the what gradient?
The increase in temperature with depth in the Earth is known as the geothermal gradient. It typically averages about 25 to 30 degrees Celsius per kilometer of depth in the crust, although this can vary based on geological conditions. The geothermal gradient is important for understanding heat flow, geological processes, and the potential for geothermal energy resources.
How can Humans utilize the hot water produced within the earths crust?
it can be used for power, like geothermal
What forms the elevated part of the earths crust?
continental crust
Energy drawn from heated water within earths crust is called?
Geothermal energy is from heated water within the earth's crust.
What is the geothermal gradient in the Earth's oceanic crust?
The geothermal gradient in the Earth's oceanic crust is around 25-30°C per kilometer depth. This means that the temperature increases by about 25-30 degrees Celsius for every kilometer of depth below the seafloor in oceanic crust.
How do humans use geothermal energy?
people dont use geothermal it is in the earths crust so people dont use geothermal
What is the term for the increase in temperature with depth in the Earth?
The term for the increase in temperature with depth in the Earth is called geothermal gradient. This gradient is typically around 25-30°C per kilometer in the Earth's crust.
The layer of the earths crust that is not covered by ocean water is called what?
continental crust
What is the general composition of earths continental crust?
Water
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 on average?
The average geothermal gradient is around 25 to 30 degrees Celsius per kilometer of depth in the Earth's crust. This means that the temperature increases by this amount for every kilometer you descend into the Earth.
How thick is the earths continental crust?
The continental crust is about 25 to 70 kilometers thick. The average is about 50 kilometers.
A stream whose gradient has been increased by movement of the earths crust is said to be?
rejuvenated
Is the continental crust the land you walk on?
well, to be technical the earths crust is really on the inner outside
