Why does your 93 trans am over cool and why doesnt it produce heat for the interior?
Sounds like your thermostat could be stuck open.
Why doesnt a geostationary satellite trace a path over the surface of the earth?
A geostationary satellite does not trace a path over the surface of the earth because that is what geostationary means - the satellite is stationary over a point on the Earth.
Where does earth get its internal energy?
I assume you mean the heat in Earth's interior. This heat comes from three sources. (1) Heat left over from when the Earth formed. This part should be quite insignificant, since Earth has had enough time to cool down. (2) Decay of radioactive isotopes. (3) The fact that the liquid part of the Earth is gradually solidifying also generates heat.
How does the interior of earth change over time?
The core (Earth's interior, as you stated above) is believed to be composed of iron (80%), as well as nickel and several light elements, whereas other dense elements like uranium and lead are either too uncommon to be obvious, or may bind to the lighter elements and stay in the Earth's crust. Some people once argued that the inner core could actually be in the form of one single iron crystal. :O and since the inner core of the Earth is extremely hot, and all hot things cool over time, the Earth's core is solidifying over time (though VERY slowly so don't worry)
What components of the earth have changed the least over time?
Components of the earth that changed the least over time include the earth's crust and mantle and the structure of the earth's interior. Other structures that have changed very little include the components of the atmosphere.
What would happen to the convection currents in the mantle if earth's interior eventually cooled down?
If the mantle of the earth interior were to cool down the convection currents and plate tectonics would stop. That would mean that there would be no more earthquakes or volcanoes.
Why doesnt milk cool faster than tea or coffee?
It does cool faster, it has a lower specific heat capacity and so cools at a faster rate, only by a few degrees over say 30 minutes, but it is.
Is the study of the earth's atmosphere called Geology?
The study of Earth's atmosphere is called meteorology. Geology is the study of the Earth, including Earth's surface and interior; geologists study the origin, history, and structure of Earth and the processes that shape it over time.
Do volcanoes stop earth from exploding?
No. The Earth won't "explode"! Volcanoes relieve pressure over relatively small areas, but the planet's Crust and interior as a whole are basically in equilibrium.
How fast is the interior of the earth cooling down?
100 degrees Celsius over the next billion years is what I read when searching the same question.
If the earth received more energy than it transmitted over a long period of time it would begin to cool?
That is false
