Explanation:
b) Earth’s outer surface is cooler than its interior layers.
There are several facts that attest this statement: the presence of volcanos that expel extremely hot material from the Earth's interior: hot water springs due to its deep origin in the crust; mines that are really deep can also prove that the earth gets warmer as we get into its interior. Heat flows to the crust in different ways though: by conduction, radiation and convection.
