Every second of every hour of every day.
This is true. The greenhouse effect on earth holds back heat escaping from the earth.
The Earth's interior is hot due to the heat generated during its formation and from the decay of radioactive isotopes. This heat is trapped within the Earth because of its insulating layers, such as the mantle and crust, which prevent it from escaping into space. The heat also drives processes like mantle convection, which continuously transfers heat from the interior to the surface.
lithosphere
Earth's surface is free to radiate heat into space. The interior is not. The interior does transfer heat the the surface, but rather slowly. It is hot due to residual heat from Earth's formation and from the heat generated by the decay of radioactive elements.
the mantle plume There are two source of heat in the earth's interior. The main two sources are fire and breathing heat.
Geothermal refers to the heat within the Earth's interior. It involves utilizing this heat for purposes such as energy production or heating.
Convection currents are agents of heat transfer within Earth's interior. And could also serve as mechnism for heat generation in the earth crust.

In which region of the Earth's interior does the heat increase to the point that rocks can begin to melt?
