Temperature between Earth's core and surface is distributed non-linearly
the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
confidence 83/100
Geophysical evidence demonstrates that the temperature profile between Earth's core and its surface varies across different layers and boundaries, resulting in a non-linear thermal distribution.
