Thermal energy cannot be transformed INTO heat because it IS heat. It can be turned into heat because it can be used to power a device that will convert the energy into heat yet, at the same time, cannot be turned into heat because it already IS heat.
"Thermal" is the root word for heat - that is, thermal means anything relating to heat, warmth temperature etc. The technical term - and therefore the one more accepted in many exam papers - for heat energy in thermal energy, for this reason.

What happens to energy that cannot be used to do work?
its transformed into a different type of energy..such as thermal energy or heat
When you turn on a toaster what happens to the electrical energy?
The electrical energy gets transformed into electromagnetic (light) energy and thermal (heat) energy.
What is thermal energy transformation?
Thermal energy is heat energy. Thus any energy change involving heat would fit this description, for example heat being applied to a pot of water is transformed into kinetic energy in the escaping steam.
What is an example of thermal energy being transformed into sound energy?
an example of thermal energy being transformed into sound energy is the crackling of a fire
Types of energy transformed into thermal energy?
i want to know too. answer- chemical energy
How is geothermal energy transformed to another energy?
Geothermal can be transformed to thermal energy. Almost everything is transformed to thermal energy because of that we have lots of heat energy in the sky that are being unused.\
How is chemical transformed?
