The decay of radioactive isotopes.
The primary source of heat in Earth's interior is residual heat left over from the planet's formation, along with heat generated by the decay of radioactive isotopes. This heat drives mantle convection and plate tectonics, resulting in geological processes such as volcanic activity and earthquakes.
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.
Geothermal energy is powered by the heat stored below the Earth's surface. This energy is harnessed using geothermal power plants to produce electricity and heat for various applications like heating buildings and spas. The natural heat from the Earth's interior is a renewable energy source that provides a constant and sustainable energy supply.

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.
