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 × 10^6 meters. the temperature gradient between the core and the crust is k/m. express the answer as a decimal number rounded to three decimal places.

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)

is this a psat question, if so do not cheat try your best.
