Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the origins of Earth's heat that radiates from deep within its crust. It explores the concept of central heat, an idea prevalent in the 18th century, suggesting that the planet's core was molten and cooling. The author examines various theories and observations made by scientists such as Saussure, Humboldt, and Fourier, who studied temperature variations in mines and boreholes to understand the Earth's thermal gradient. Through their research, they discovered an increase in temperature with depth, leading to the notion of a constant temperature layer beneath the Earth's surface. The book also discusses the significance of these findings in advancing our understanding of the planet's internal structure and the implications for the existence of a central heat source.
