The temperature gradient between the core and the crust is 0.001 K/m.
What is a temperature gradient?
A temperature gradient is a physical parameter that indicates how quickly and in which direction the temperature changes around a specific point. A dimensional quantity, the temperature gradient is measured in Kelvin per unit length.
Expression in maths is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Given that Earth’s core has a temperature of about 6000 Kelvin. Earth’s surface has a temperature near 300 Kelvin. The distance from the core to the crust is approximately 5.15 × 10⁶ meters
The temperature gradient is calculated as below:-
temperature gradient = ( 6000 - 300 ) K / 5.15 × 10⁶ meters
= ( 5700 ) K / 5.15 × 10⁶ meters
= 0.001 k / m
Therefore, the temperature gradient between the core and the crust is 0.001 K/m.
