An object loses thermal energy any time it is in an environment where there "ambient" temperature is lower than that of the object. It is the difference in temperatures between the object and its surrounds that will determine the speed of the heat loss (along with other factors like insulation and the composition of the object and the surrounds, etc.). If we consider the case of a red hot piece of iron, it will begin to cool immediately in air when removed from a furnace. It will cool a bit faster when put into a working freezer, and much faster when put into water of the same temperature as the air around it. All of this makes sense if we think about it. In general, everything is continually gaining and losing energy. If all the objects in a room are "soaking" at the ambient temperature, they are all gaining and giving off thermal energy, and they are all doing this at equilibrium. That's how they hold their temperature. Think about this. It is the key to understanding a basic principle of thermodynamics. Here's why. A bunch of objects in a closed environment that have been there a good while are constantly giving off and capturing thermal energy, but are doing so in a way that they do not change temperatute. Start to monkey with the temperature in the environment and things go haywire. With an understanding of the constant nature of the "circulating thermal energy" in a closed system, you can initiate an investigation of how thermodynamics works, and you can figure out why something like, say, a thermal imaging camera, will work so well.
Technically, energy can't get lost, since you can't create energy or make it disappear. However, it is possible to convert usable energy into unusable energy - in fact, it happens all the time, and is unavoidable. Energy gets "lost" in this way whenever a movement is slowed down through friction, but there are some other cases, as well. For example, when two recipients have water at different temperatures, part of the temperature difference could be converted to another kind of energy. Once the water in the two recipients gets mixed, this is no longer possible - the energy has been wasted.

When:
For the matter of thermal energy transfer ,it required temperature difference.
For the matter of changing form, it would still required a temperature difference with some mechanism transforming thermal energy into mechanical or electrical energy.

A substance gains thermal energy as the temperature of the substance increases, because the particles of the substance vibrate more as this happens.
When all thermal energy is lost, the temperature of the substance is Zero Kelvin, or absolute zero. So far, this temperature has not been achieved yet.
Usually the "thermal energy" will increase since work ON the system adds energy. Thermal energy is really not the best term though. A much better term in thermodynamics would be ENTHALPY.
the force is doing work

Friction can cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy
It involves a loss of thermal energy.
I think the answer is a No because if you change electrical energy to thermal energy to an example it will mix into chemical energy.
animals may change its form or shape
Thermal energy is pretty much the heat in an object. However different parts of the object can have different temperatures, so thermal energy is the average of all that. The formula for thermal energy is: q(change in the thermal energy) = m(mass) x c(specific heat (the amount of energy needed to raise 1 kg of an object 1 K)) x delta t(change in temperature)
Friction can cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy
Friction can cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy
Thermal energy cause thermal decomposition of a compound; the bonds between atoms are weakened.
no
It involves a loss of thermal energy.
The formula for thermal energy is mc(deltaT) equals thermal energy, which means that multiplication of change in temperature by mass and specific heat gives you the thermal energy.
A liquid can expand when thermal energy is absorbed which is known as thermal expansion, but the thermal energy is not enough to change the liquid's state. When there is enough thermal energy, the liquid may change to a gas if the particles move fast enough to escape the liquid or it may change to a solid if the thermal energy is released from the matter.
you have to wear thermal clothing, then pour water over yourself, then grab a fork and stick it in the toaster. thermal energy :)
Thermal energy
total thermal energy
An increase in thermal energy may change a solid to a liquid, a liquid to a gas, or a solid to a gas.A decrease in thermal energy may cause a change in the opposite direction - for example, from a liquid to a solid.
I think the answer is a No because if you change electrical energy to thermal energy to an example it will mix into chemical energy.
