geothermal
of or relating to the heat in the interior of the earth
Heat from the earth's interior reaches the surface through a combination of convection and conduction.
In which region of the Earth's interior does the heat increase to the point that rocks can begin to melt?

Conduction
of or relating to the heat in the interior of the earth
Earth's surface is free to radiate heat into space. The interior is not. The interior does transfer heat the the surface, but rather slowly. It is hot due to residual heat from Earth's formation and from the heat generated by the decay of radioactive elements.
the mantle plume There are two source of heat in the earth's interior. The main two sources are fire and breathing heat.
Convection currents are agents of heat transfer within Earth's interior. And could also serve as mechnism for heat generation in the earth crust.
