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 are some questions about geothermal energy that you would like to explore further?
Some questions about geothermal energy that could be explored further include: How can we increase the efficiency of geothermal power plants? What are the environmental impacts of geothermal energy extraction? How can geothermal energy be integrated into existing energy grids? What are the potential economic benefits of expanding geothermal energy production? How can we improve the technology for harnessing geothermal energy from different types of geothermal resources?
Which alternative energy sources is exhaustible?
BiomassNuclear fissionPossibly geothermalWell, if you want to be pedantic about it, so is solar, wind and tide energy. The sun will transition to red giant in a few billion years then (probably) become a white dwarf. No more sunlight. And even longer after that, as the universe is expanding, due to the law of entropy, everything will eventually be spread out thinly across space, and the energy levels will be constant everywhere. So if you want to be pedantic, EVERY source of alternative energy will run out eventually, but the person asking this question obviously wants to know what alternative energy sources are exhaustible in the timeframe of human existence, and the answer to that is biomass and nuclear (with the current technologies, the figures show we will run out of uranium in about 160-200+ years, but potential new technologies look to be able to extend our uranium supply almost indefinitely). And technically we can run out of (useable) biomass.Realistically, we're never going to run out of biomass, though producing enough to satisfy fuel demands could be very difficult. Efficient use of current technology and (more important) fuel recycling means that we're unlikely to run out of nuclear fission fuel, either. We're never going to run out of nuclear fusion fuel.Geothermal is tricky. We're never going to run out of geothermal energy to tap into (as that would require cooling of the earth's core, which won't happen on a human timescale), but individual places where geothermal energy is available can easily change, and as geothermal isn't portable, it is entirely possible for a given location to be unable to produce geothermal power at some point.
What is the relationship between geothermal power and geothermal energy?
Geothermal power is the electricity generated from harnessing geothermal energy, which is the heat stored beneath the Earth's surface. Geothermal energy is a renewable and sustainable resource that can be used to produce electricity through technologies like geothermal power plants.
Is geothermal from the sun?
Geothermal energy is not directly from the sun. It comes from the heat within the Earth's core due to radioactive decay of elements like uranium and thorium. This heat is continuously produced and used for geothermal energy generation.
Is fuel needed to get geothermal energy?
Geothermal energy, such as hot springs, is used to heat home and factories so in this sense geothermal energy is fuel. However to create a system that uses geothermal needs an infrastucture which needs to be designed and built, in this sense geothermal energy needs an energy input.
Which alternitive energy source is exhaustable?
Everything is exhaustible except solar power, wind power, tidal and wave power.
What energy source is exhaustible?
Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas are exhaustible energy sources because they are finite and will eventually run out.

Heat energy generated within the earth is called what?
my answer is the heat energy is magmaThe heat energy in earths crust is geothermal energy
What are exhaustible natural resources?
Petroleum and Coal are examples of exhaustible natural resources. These resources are not-renewable - i.e. it is not possible to regenerate them naturally or through any engineering. These got made on Earth in the conditions when humankind had not emerged on Earth, and it was not even possible for human-being to live on Earth that time due to its environmental conditions.
Is there anything that uses geothermal energy to produce geothermal energy?
No. Geothermal energy comes from the earth's core!
Why do we use such a small amount of geothermal energy?
what is geothermal energy?
Is geyser a geothermal energy?
A geyser is the result of geothermal energy.
Does geothermal energy leave waste?
No, geothermal energy has no waste.

Why do scientists study solar energy?
Solar energy is renewable. It helps in saving exhaustible resources.
