Explanation:

A rock would experience a temperature of 5500°C is about the core which is at a depth of 220km.

But let us use the earth's geothermal gradient to solve this problem.

The geothermal gradient is the rate at which temperature is increasing with depth.

The geothermal gradient 25°C/km

At 5500°C,

5500°C x $\frac{1}{25}$ $\frac{k}{C}$ = 220km

But this is not so in nature, there are other heat sources that contributes to increasing temperature with depth such as radioactive heat and frictional heat.

Match each step of the scientific method with its description.

Helen [10]

1- C ( this is an assumption; a hypothesis is always based on an assumption.

2- F ( this states to share the results with other classmates).

3- D (this is a description of an experiment you could conduct; you test a hypothesis (usually) by conducting an experiment.

4- A (this is something you could observe during the experiment, therefore it is an observation).

5- E (this sentence is a conclusion).

6- B (This is an actual question)
