2) The average rate at which energy is conducted outward through the ground surface in North
America is 54.0 mW/m2, and the average thermal conductivity of the near surface rocks is 2.50
W/m K. Assuming a surface temperature of 10.0°C, find the temperature at a depth of 10.0 km.
Ignore the heat generated by the presence of radioactive elements.

Temperature Formula

We know energy conducted is given  by-

P = KATH-TCL

P is average Energy

K is thermal conductivity

Tis Surface temperature

so, temperature at given depth TH 

TH = PLKA+TC
