Granite has a thermal conductivity of ~3.5 W/m.K What is the steady-state conductive heat flux through a granite body with an average annual surface temperature of 15C and a temperature of 155C at a depth of 1.5km? Assuming that the heat flux was the same, what would the temperature be at 1.5 km if the body was made of basalt (with a thermal conductivity of 1.8 W/m.K)?
