8.5 How hot is the interior of Earth?

cross section expanded view of the temperature of the interior of the earth.

Fig 8.21 (bottom)

This continuation of the geothermal gradient down into the deeper Earth to its core shows the transitional zones.

Much of the hypothetical inner Earth gradient is derived from seismic data.
