Question

The temperature of the earth increases at an average rate of 1 degree C for every _____ of descent

A) 52 m
B) 25m
C) 162m
D) 32m​

Answer 1

Answer:

The temperature of the earth increases at an average rate of 1⁰c for every _162m_ of descent.

Answer 2

(C) 162m of descent increases the temperature by 1⁰C.

• As we go down 162m, the temperature increases by 1⁰C. The average temperature of the earth is 17⁰C.
• Temperature increases due to the gas and pressure present inside the surface of the earth. The temperature increases because we go near to the core of the earth which is metallic and hotter.
• As carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are released by the people living on the surface of the earth, the heat from the sun is trapped in the atmosphere.
• On average, the temperature increases by about 25°C for every kilometer of depth.
• It indicates heat flowing from the Earth's warm interior to its surface.
