A temperature gradient of 35C/km is measured in the upper few meters of sediments covering the
ocean floor. If the mean thermal conductivity of oceanic sediments is 1.7 W/(mK), calculate the
local heat flow. How far do you think the sampling site is from the nearest active ridge, assuming a
half-spreading rate of 3 cm/yr?
