Final answer:

Geothermal gradient is the rate of temperature increase with depth inside the Earth, crucial for heat transfer processes.


Explanation:

Geothermal gradient is the rate at which temperature increases with depth inside the Earth, typically around 25-30°C per kilometer in the crust. This change in temperature is essential for understanding heat flow from the Earth's interior to the surface.
