Why is it important that there is a heat balance around the earth?
so that heat and cold dont collide and make a sharknadoe (movie is based on a true story)
Why is geothermal power renewable?
Geothermal power is produced by the internal forces of the earth. Since this is an ongoing process it is a renewable resource. Basically it is the heat from the magma inside the earth, the same that causes volcanoes and geysers. The core of earth is so hot that it will keep heating the crust.
How does the sun heat the earth unevenly?
The earth is on a tilt so it can't hit the earth everywhere at the same time.
Is geothermal energy exhaustible?
I should think not. The center of the earth heats up because of the large mass of the earth which creates the gravity. The gravity of the earth packs the particles very tightly together creating high pressures. When particles are under high pressure they vibrate more violently together which creates heat. Therefore until the universe explodes the earth's core should continue creating in-expendable amounts of heat. Don't hold me to this answer - but it makes sense to me +++ The Earth's internal heat is from natural radioactive decay of uranium and its active by-products, not from compression, as is the initial condition within a young star before nuclear fusion can start. . Early geologists did think the Earth's internal heat was that left from its original accretion, and so tried to calculate the planet's age from its black-body radiation cooling curve - but soon realised this gave an answer far short of reality. Your hypothesis is roughly the same as that. . As for the universe exploding... it may eventually shrink but the Sun will have died as a red giant and scorched the Earth to a cinder long by then.
What is the condition pf the earth today?
Nowadays, the earth is having more heat itself. The earth has been heated by mainly destroying of forests. that willl due to enhance the heat in earth. Due to Destroying the forests, there is no atmosphere to growth of plants. So today itself the earth will be heated condition.....
What is internal heat made of?
Internal Heat is a form of hot gas that is hot because it is not exposed to the atmosphere. It is a bit like a blanket. The greenhouse gases act as a blanket and do not let heat trapped in the Earth out or cold air from the solar system. If the greenhouse gases were not there then lots of air from space would enter the earth and therefore earth would be around 15 degrees almost always. So all the hot gas that is trapped inside the Earth is called internal heat. ;)
Why is the sun so important to us on earth?
The sun is so important to us on Earth because it provides us with light and heat. There would be no life on Earth if it wasn't for the sun. The Earth would be a big frozen rock.
Why is typhoon so important?
Because it cools down the Earth from the intense heat from the sun.
What keeps the earths core so hot?
light and heat(i heard some1 say radiation 1ce but i dont think its true)

What is the most important long lasting internal heat source responsible for geological activity?
Pressure...more so...gravitational compression and the decay of radioactive isotopes such as potassium.
How is the earth so important to your earth?
Because it is very important.

What is the core temperature of planet Mars?
The core of Mars is cooler than the Earth. Why depends on the surface area relative to the volume of a planet. A larger planet like Earth has a lot of volume and a limited amount of surface area by which to radiate its internal heat to space. Mars is smaller but has more surface area per volume than Earth, so it can radiate its internal heat away to space more efficiently than Earth. There are other smaller differences in the initial heat of accretion and the heat released when the core forms from an initially homogeneous mass, but the surface area is the biggest factor. like none of this has an actual temperature
Did the moon lose its volcanic activity because of its weak gravity?
No. The moon lost its volcanic activity because it is much smaller than Earth and so lost its internal heat more quickly.
What does the sun do to the earth?
the sun gives heat to the earth so if there was no sun we would die.
Why is energy so important to the earth?
because its is with out it there would be no earth.
