What is the source of earths internal heat?
The source of the Earth's internal heat is a result of gravitational compression and to a much lesser extent, the decay of radioactive isotopes.The heat present in the Earth is due to several factors.The first source of heat is from the remnants of heat from impacts with planetesimals early in Earth's history. Impacts with large bodies such as these (including the impact which led to the formation of the moon) trapped the thermal energy of the collision in the surrounding rock of the planet, and may have been enough in certain circumstances to completely melt the early Earth.The second source of heat is also a remnant of an early Earth event known as the Iron Catastrophe. With much of early Earth still molten, denser metals, particularly iron and nickel, migrated to the center of the planet. Tremendous amounts of frictional heat was created, enough to completely melt the planet once again.The third source of heat in the Earth is from compression due to gravity.The fourth and final source of heat in the Earth is from the decay of radioactive elements. This source of heat is gradually declining due the decreasing amounts of radioactive isotopes, the decrease being caused by the decay.
How much of earths water is stored in the atmosphere?

How much salt water covers the earths surface?
a lot
Geothermal heat pumps can heat homes by?
By using the ground as the source for heat, much like an airsource heat pump uses air to remove the heat from the air on a cold day a geothermal system using the more consistent earth as the source for pulling heat out of the ground to heat your home in the winter and cool your home in the summer. The earths more consistent temperatures allow the system to work better than an air source system and in general the Geothermal system is more effiencent than any other type of heating used in homes.
Where is the earths energy released?
Earths energy is released when there is too much heat inside of Earth and volcano's erupt.
Is the earths formation a source of thermal energy?
Much of the Earth's heat was leftover when the planet was formed
What kind of animal does not produce much internal heat?
Cold-blooded animals do not produce much body heat. Most do not produce any at all.
Why doesnt much heat come out when you turn it on?
it has to heat itself up first
Heat engines use heat to do work?
Yes. Heat engines come in various forms. For example, internal combustion using gasoline or diesel, external combustion (not much used), steam engines reciprocating or turbine, gas turbines, rocket engines.
Water stores heat much longer than other substances do allowing organisms to?
maintain a stable internal temperature
What do you call it when someone gets overheated?
Working or exercising in hot conditions can cause 'heat exhaustion', which can progress to 'heat stroke'. 'Hyperthermia' is the condition of too much heat in the body. It may come from external sources or from internal medical conditions that cause the body temperature to rise in a fever. The opposite condition, a dangerously low body temperature, is known as 'hypothermia'.
What is the sankey diagram for a radio?
it is a diagram that show how much heat has come thourth
How much of earths oceans cover earths surface?
70% or 80% of water covers the earths surface
How much earths can fit in Jupiter?
1,321 Earths can fit in Jupiter.
How Much Earths does it take to make Jupiter?
In terms of volume, 1320 Earths.
Why should ic engines be cooled during operation?
Internal combustion engines produce a lot of waste heat. So much so that if this excess heat is not removed the engine will weld itself into a immobile blob.
