Based on the familiar temperature dependence of conductivity, which relates electrical conductivity to parameters characterizing the petrological composition of rocks, a temperature estimate of the lunar interior was obtained: the temperature within the moon rises sharply from 250 K in the near-surface layer to 800 K at 200 km from the surface and then, beginning from 400 km, tends to its adiabatic value, reaching 1050 K at 600 km. Three major regions of the lunar interiors can be distinguished: 0-200 km, 200-600 km, and the region lying below 600 km (pyroxenitic, peridotitic, and olivinic shells, respectively).
