n: the increase in the temperature of the earth with increasing depth. It averages about 1�F per 60 feet (1�C per 18.3 metres),but may be considerably higher or lower.

n: 1.The rate of increase in temperature per unit depth in the Earth. Although the geothermal gradient varies from place to place, it averages 25 to 30 oC/km [15 oF/1000 ft]. 2.The natural increase of temperature with depth in the earth. Temperature gradient

the gradient reflecting the amount of temperature rise as the well depth increases. Normally about 1.1 to 1.8o F per 100 ft of true vertical depth increase.
