Describe three sources of Earth's internal heat. Which internal process is still producing heat?

Question

thanks!!

Answer 1

Heat is an important kind of energy. Heat from the Sun makes life on Earth possible. Heat makes your home warm. Heat cooks your food. Heat makes cars go. You use more heat than any other kind of energy.

Things that make heat are called heat sources. The 3 main sources of heats are:
The Sun is a heat source.
Heat of the Sun:
The Sun provides Earth with huge amounts of energy in the form of heat and light. Without the Sun, life on Earth would

Fire is a heat source.
Flame:
The flame from these burning matches gives off heat and light. Never play with matches—you might burn yourself or start a fire by accident.


Melted rock and metal inside Earth are sources of heat.
Heat sources make other things hot.

Answer 2

Radioactive decay is the process that is producing the internal heat of Earth. Rock is a very poor conductor of heat.

Some of Earth's heat came from it initial formation due to collisions creating frictional heat.

More came from decay of a now extinct (on Earth) isotope, Aluminum 26.

Answer 3

internal moleten iron core and sulfer interior provide the core of the planet where molten rock and minerals are. the second is from radioactive decay of radioactive materials emtting heat into surrounding rock, and the last is other sources of heat. geothermal, chambers of magma etc that are close to surface. two sorces are still proving heat both radioactive decay and molten rocks within the interior which occassionaly comes to surface.

Vedat Shehu's comment; Earth's inner ource of enrgy
Essence of the core of the Earth – Is the Earth’s core formed through such simple way as the physical phenomenon points to us that heavier objects in a pool are going with faster speed toward the bottom, and we would agree with still current explanation that core Fe-Ni components have been precipitated as heavier mass in the bottom (when the Earth-planet has not bottom, but center), and stays since its formation, (since planet-formation epoch 4.55 billion years ago) in inactive rest inside its inert silicate (stony, rocky) shall? My answer is I wouldn’t,; the core is the most essential part of the Earth, and core kernel is most essential part of the core, where occurs a certain cosmic shape of matter (not atom-molecular shape as radioactive isotopes, which are deficient in Earth and in cosmic dust from which it haa origin). Hence I formulated the essential meaning of my theory, plainly so: “What would one told about the peach pit (core), if we would know only its rind and a bit from its pulp? . . . . . . ;One might even say that our planet did not make the core, but rather, the core’s kernel makes the earth, our dynamic Earth.” My theory was developed in form of the bbok through, and further in some articles, but laconically is presented here:

Answer 5

Heat released from the Earth's interiors is not something in itself, but it is the geothermical field one among other physical fields of Earth: geomagmetic, gravitational and other wave-corpuscular fluxes. Specifically, heat and magma are produced from transformable core kernel positioned in the core energetic structure,

Answer 6

attempt to think of of the earth as a huge nuclear reactor. The nuclear potential is left over from the particle and debris created by using the dying of a action picture star. the debris clumped mutually coming up our photograph voltaic gadget.

Answer 7

radioactive decay of primarily Uranium.
