Here are the approximate temperature ranges for Earth’s four main layers, given in Fahrenheit (Celsius in parentheses):
- Crust (surface down to ~5–70 km): near-surface varies widely by climate (about -130°F to +140°F; roughly -90°C to +60°C). At the base of the continental crust temperatures are typically ~392–752°F (200–400°C).
- Mantle (from base of crust to ~2,900 km): roughly 932–7,232°F (500–4,000°C), with the upper mantle at the lower end and the temperature rising toward the core–mantle boundary.
- Outer core (liquid, ~2,900–5,150 km depth): about 7,232–10,832°F (4,000–6,000°C).
- Inner core (solid, center of Earth ~5,150–6,371 km): about 9,032–12,632°F (5,000–7,000°C).
These values are approximate; actual temperatures vary with location and depend on how they are estimated (laboratory experiments, seismic data, models).
