  1. It depends on where one is. If it is in the ocean, the temperature is always about 28 F. The water doesn't freeze because of the salt, which lowers the freezing point. On land, the temperature is far higher, but varies quite a lot. South African gold and diamond mines are this deep or deeper. The average temperature of the rocks is 110 F. If one is in a geologically active region of the earth, the temperature is influenced by molten rock swelling up just under the surface. Here the temperature can be 1000 degrees or higher. Iceland is situated on a massive fault line and uses geothermal energy to produce electricity. Besides lighting, the electricity is used to turn seawater into Hydrogen. Iceland has more hydrogen powered vehicles than anywhere else on earth.


  2. if there is fall in temp. of 6C for every 1000mts we go above the sea level so there must be a fall in 6C. for every 1000mts as we go down
