Is true that once the energy has left earths surface it can not be reabsorbed?

No. It is not true that once energy has left the earth's surface it can not be reabsorbed. Clouds overhead act like a blanket and reflect energy back to the earth's surface. As a result deserts are usually cooler at night than other areas at the same latitudes.

What is the landform left at earths surface?
extrusive igneous rock.
When water evaporates it cools the surface left behind what is this called?
It is called vaporization, and it happens because the water vapor is taking away some of the heat in the form of energy, and so the surface has less heat energy.
How many steam vents are left in the world?
Geothermal vents are constantly forming and closing as magma moves towards the Earths surface and cools as a result of Geological processes.
What are three reasons why most craters left on Earth are no longer visible?
Since the Earth's crust is a dynamic surface that is controlled by convection in the Earths core, the plates on which the surface lies are moving, called plate tectonics. This tectonic motion produces subduction which recycles and changes the Earths surface resulting in a ever changing and recycled surface, that does not preserve impact craters. Also, erosional and weathering processes erode away the higher parts of craters leaving no clear marking of craters over a long period of time.
Why is a shadow made?
Light travels in form of Electro Magnetic waves. EM waves, carry their energy in small packets of energy named Photon. (imagine small pieces of water baloons are hitting a surface and splashing their water on e surface) that's how light is transmitted, and you can see its reflection. Now imagine that you out ur hand on top of that surface, instead of the surface your hand will get wet. In scientific terms, your hand is absorbing the energy, and blocking its transmission path. So the surface will be left ( according to our analogy, surface will remain dry) untouched with the photons, that's why it will be dark.
The age of the earths crust can best be determined from the studies of A the salts of the oceans B the type of fossils left behind C erosion from a river D radioactive decay E surface weatherin?
Radioactive decay
How earthquakes have changed the surface and atmosphere of the earth over millions of years?
EARTHQUAKES have changes the earth in many ways. The folding and faulting of the earth crust have left big cracks in the earths crust. The folding and faulting only happen on the tectonic boundaries. TECTONIC BOUNDARIES: The plates that make up the earths contents.

What is the major heat source of earth's crust?
there are many reasons for heat in earths crust. like the friction between rock masses during movements of earths crust. there may also be heat left over from the original heat of earths interior. but the main reason for heat in earths crust is radioactive elements. they give off energy that can be absorbed as heat. some radioactive elements include uranium, thorium, and a form of potassium.
Object leave ground with same velocity as when it hit ground?
The velocity of an object that leaves the ground is the same as the velocity when it hits the ground on the condition that it is only acted on by gravity, that it lands on an equivalent surface to one that it left in terms of potential energy (altitude]. In a closed system energy must be conserved so an object that leaves the ground with a certain quantity of kinetic energy must hit the ground with the same quantity of kinetic energy as gravity its self which also means that given the surface it lands on is the same in potential energy as the surface it left, the object must have the same velocity as E mv^2/2. Of course the object in real life is subject to friction and various contributing factors so it is only true in an ideal case that the object returns to the ground with the same velocity that it left the ground.
What is the definition of grid system?
a system of rectangular excavation or sampling units laid over a site by strings and stakes.
