there are many reasons for heat in earths crust. like the friction between rock masses during movements of earths crust. there may also be heat left over from the original heat of earths interior. but the main reason for heat in earths crust is radioactive elements. they give off energy that can be absorbed as heat. some radioactive elements include uranium, thorium, and a form of potassium.

How is heat transfer in the earths mantle related to the movement of the earths crust?
The heat transfer is moved to the crust. The earth's crust moves to the inner core
What is the major source of energy for the earths weather?
The major source of the earth energy is solar radiation, or more bluntly light and heat from the sun. Heat creates the differences in air masses and is responsible for most of there movement.
What is earths heat source?
The sun
What is a mantle in the earth?
The Earths mantle is the viscous layer between the core and the crust. It is hot because of heat from the core, and part-liquid because it is composed of material with a moderate melting point. This mantle is the source of the volcanic material. Silica is a major component.
What is the source of heat in the Earths interior?
the inner core
How is heat transfer in the earths mantle related to the movement of the earths crust?
The heat transfer is moved to the crust. The earth's crust moves to the inner core
What is a cavern beneath earths crust that's the source of heat for all Yellowstone's thermal features?
A magma chamber.

What is earths heat source?
The sun
How does heat transfer from the mantle relate to the movement of earths crust?
This heat transfer happens by convection.
What is the earths main source of heat?
The Sun.

How do deposits of minerals form deep inside the earths crust?
by heat and pressure
What cavern is beneath earths crust that is the source of heat for all yellowstones themal features?
It is a massive magma chamber to what has been called a supervolcano that lies beneath much of the park.
What is the source of heat in the Earths interior?
the inner core
What is the source of the energy that powers the earths system?
The Earth system is powered by energy from two major sources: the Sun and the planet's internal heat.
What is the source of most of earths heat and natural li?
sun
