Answer 1

The temperature increases with increasing depth inside the Earth at the rate of 1°C for 32 m.

Explanation:

As we go deeper into the earth, the temperature rises because heat from the core and mantle moves outward. This increase is approximately 1°C for every 32 meters of descent, known as the geothermal gradient.
