The sun provides the thermal energy for currents to be formed.
Conversion from chemical potential energy to thermal energy.
friction
Much of the Earth's heat was leftover when the planet was formed
In general, when a hot object comes in contact with a cold object, heat (thermal energy) is transferred from the hotter to the colder object.
Nuclear is formed either by: Fission of heavy nucleiFusion of light nucleiRadioactive decay of unstable nucleiNuclear energy results from the mass defect (either due to fission, fusion, or radioactive decay) change into kinetic energy that is changed into thermal energy (producing steam) then to mechanical energy then to electric energy.
Thermal Energy
Conversion from chemical potential energy to thermal energy.
friction
Thermal potential energy is energy that is formed by heat and the sun.
It turns into energy
It usually produces heat.
Their phosphate groups provides the energy that is needed for polymerization when nucleic acids are formed.
Much of the Earth's heat was leftover when the planet was formed
A difference between gyres and currents is that currents are formed by the wind, but gyres are formed by currents.
Thermal (heat) energy can only be converted partially into other types of energy. The remainder is "lost" for many practical purposes.
The compound that provides energy to living things is known as ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate), this compound is formed in the mitochondria of cells
