Why life on earth requires a continuous suply of energy from the sun?
It is not necessary that our life forms on planet earth require energy only from sun. Plants can photosynthesize and survive under artificial light. The only thing is we don't have an alternative source of energy.
How old is geothermal energy?
Geothermal energy is constantly being renewed from below, by heat from the interior of the Earth. The limit is on how much energy can be extracted at a continuous rate, so that there is no lapse in the supply while the rocks are reheated.
What energy that makes the earth to rotate at its axis?
An object that rotates has the tendency to continue rotating. There is no need for a continuous energy supply. In this case, the rotational energy was there from the moment that Earth formed. - Actually, to be precise, at first there was much more rotational energy; Earth's rotation has been slowing down due to tidal forces. It will continue slowing down until Earth always shows the same side to the Moon.
