Earth Core: Cooling, Earth Core: Thermal Conductivity

Scientific paper

It is currently accepted that the temperature profile in the fluid outer core of the Earth is adiabatic. The possibility of conductive heat transfer in a thick zone between the convective deep core and the core mantle bondary is envisaged. Using reasonable values of the physical parameters, it is found that the conductive zone would be about 600 km thick. The possibility of compositional convection causing convection currents in the conductive zone is not excluded.
