Abstract

The temperature at the Earth's surface in 10-20 C on average, although in polar region and on high mountains it is much colder, while in deep mines it is too hot to work for long periods. Temperature obviously varies with depth. In addition, there are hot springs in areas of reccent volcanic activity where water emering from springs is heated up inside the crust. So the temperature in the Earths crust increases with increasing depth. The temperature change (in C) with depth (in km) can be plotted an a graph to give a curve, referred to as the geotherm.
