COMMON KNOWLEDGE
Legacy classification; evidence review pending
Recorded sources
no sources on either side

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that subsurface temperature increases predictably with digging depth due to the geothermal gradient?

The increase of subsurface temperature with depth (the geothermal gradient) is a fundamental, universally observed geophysical property of the Earth and does not require academic citation.
