If it’s hot in the center of the earth, Then why is it cold in the bottom of the sea?
In: Earth Science
The center of the Earth is 6371 km away from the Earth’s surface. The ocean is less than 4km deep on average. This 4km makes a very, very small difference. On the other hand, the bottom of the ocean doesn’t get any heat from the sun and is only heated by convection of heat from the surface of the water.
