| Abstract: | An explicit analytical expression for the temperature variation in the upper earth crust has been presented which accounts for inhomogeneity in thermal conductivity of soil due to moisture, porosity, etc. Numerical results show that incorporation of inhomogeneous thermal conductivity leads to significantly modified values of ground temperature over the constant thermal conductivity ground temperature values. |
