Answer:
Explanation:The temperature gradient between the core and the crust is -0.001 K/m.
Step-by-step explanation:
Earth’s core has a temperature of about 6000 Kelvin and Earth’s surface has a temperature near 300 Kelvin.
So, the change in temperature from the core to the crust Kelvin.
The distance from the core to the crust is approximately meters.
Now the formula is.....
Temperature gradient = (Temperature change / Distance)
So, the temperature gradient between the core and the crust will be: (Rounded to three decimal places)
Temperature at Earth's core, TA = 6000 Kelvin
Temperature at Earth's surface, TB = 300 Kelvin
The given distance between the core to the crust, DX = 5.15 × 10^6 meters
So, the temperature gradient between the core and the crust
= (TB - TA)/DX
= (300K - 6000K)/5.15 * 10^6 m
= -5700K / 5.15 * 10^6 m
= −1.136 * 10^(-6) K/m
Answer in decimal form rounded to three decimal places
= -0.001 * 10^(-3) K/m
the rate of change of temperature with displacement in a given direction.
The temperature at point A is TA, the temperature at point B is TB, and the distance between the two points is DX. Then the temperature gradient is defined as (TB - TA) / DX.
