What energy source drives the processes that form igneous and metamorphic rocks is found in?
earth's interior
What occurring formed by process on or inside earth with no input for humans?
all minerals are formed by natural processes.
What is Lyell's Principles of Geology?
The idea that Earth had formed naturally over a long period of time
Why is there lightining?
I believe that lightning keeps the earths core heated, when the earth was formed it was surrounded by dust particles which created static which created lightning and over time the lightning heated the core of the earth.
Why do geologists study the earth interior?
Studying the Earth's interior could eventually help in the forecasting of earthquakes and tsunamis. Earth's interior could also provide an abundance of geothermal energy, and its study could enhance that energy source. Earth's interior also contains the world's largest supplies of drinking water, rich metal ores and fossil fuel resources. Knowing where to look for them is aided by the study of Earth's interior.
What are the processes that begin in the earth's interior?
nothing
What energy source drives the processes that form igneous and metamorphic rocks is found in?
earth's interior
What are three processes that begin in Earth's interior?
The Crust,The Mantle and The Core
Why is the earth interior a source of energy?
The heat in the Earth's interior comes from the gradual decay of radioactive isotopes, which were present from the moment the Earth formed.
How are the rocks at the top of the mountain on Earth’s surface related to the rocks that form in Earth’s interior?
Sedimentary rocks are formed on or near the Earth’s surface, in contrast to metamorphic and igneous rocks, which are formed deep within the Earth. The most important geological processes that lead to the creation of sedimentary rocks are erosion, weathering, dissolution, precipitation, and lithification.
What occurring formed by process on or inside earth with no input for humans?
all minerals are formed by natural processes.
What is Lyell's Principles of Geology?

Does geothermal power station harness energy from water?
yes, water is heated by earth's interior and converted to steam
How was coal oil and gas were formed?
They were formed from trees and other vegetation that was crushed beneath the earth's surface and heated to high temperatures.
Why is there lightining?
I believe that lightning keeps the earths core heated, when the earth was formed it was surrounded by dust particles which created static which created lightning and over time the lightning heated the core of the earth.
What type of scientist studies the earths insides?
Geologists study the Earth's interior. They also study the Earth's composition and all the processes that cause it to change.
What is a leading theory for the formation of fossil fuels?
Organic matter was compressed and heated
