Convection currents are agents of heat transfer within Earth's interior. And could also serve as mechnism for heat generation in the earth crust.

Beneath the surface of the earth temperature remains the same. Within the Earth, irregular convection cells within the mantle transfer heat from the core to the surface of the planet. Volcanoes and earthquakes are two examples of heat transferring from the interior to the surface.

Geothermal Energy
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.
False.
False.
it comes from earths interior heat
