The deeper you go the higher the temperature the crust becomes. Oceanic crust is about 5 km thick and continental crust is from 15 to 70 km thick. Also, depending on proximity to spreading centers and hot spots, crustal temperatures vary. A specific location and depth is required to answer this question..
