When the shift occurs in the earths crust the energy radiates as what?
When a shift occurs in the Earth's crust, the energy can radiate as seismic waves. These waves travel through the Earth's interior and can be detected and measured by seismographs. Depending on the type of fault movement, the seismic waves produced can be either compressional (P-waves) or shear (S-waves).
Were does geothermal energy come from?
Geothermal energy comes from the heat stored beneath the earth's surface in the form of hot water and steam. This heat is generated from the decay of radioactive materials in the Earth's core and from leftover heat from the Earth's formation.
What does the earths internal thermal energy come from?
The Earth's internal thermal energy primarily comes from the heat generated during the planet's formation over 4.5 billion years ago, along with radioactive decay of elements such as uranium, thorium, and potassium within the Earth's mantle and core. This heat is continuously being released, contributing to plate tectonics, volcanism, and geothermal activity on the Earth's surface.
Where does 97 percent of earths water come from?
97% of Earth's water comes from the oceans, which contain saltwater. Only about 3% of Earth's water is freshwater, found in sources such as rivers, lakes, and groundwater.
What layer of the earth does geothermal energy come from?
Geothermal energy comes from the Earth's mantle, which is located between the crust and the core. Heat from the Earth's interior is transferred to the surface through volcanic activity and geothermal reservoirs, which can be tapped for energy production.
What does the energy for a volcano come from?
Earth's interior.
Where does energy earths most come from?
Directly or indirectly from the sun
Where does all of the earths energy come from?
From a close star called the sun

Where does the energy on earth come from?
From the sun, gravity, and the heat from the interior of the planet.

Where does all the energy from the earth come from?
From the sun, gravity, and the heat from the interior of the planet.
What is allied angle?
An allied angle is an angle that is found on an interior line. An interior angle is the angle where to lines come together.
Where is the energy source found that drives the process that form igneous and metamorphic rock?
The energy source that drives the formation of igneous and metamorphic rocks is primarily heat generated by Earth's internal processes, such as volcanic activity or tectonic movements. This heat can come from the Earth's mantle or from the radioactive decay of elements within the crust. It causes rocks to melt and recrystallize, forming new rocks through processes like solidification or metamorphism.
Where does Earths energy come from?
The vast majority of energy on earth comes from the sun. The remainder is received through solar flares or radiations from other stars.
Where did the store energy of earthquake come from?
I believe it's related to the heat from Earth's interior, which in turn is mainly due to radioactive decay.
What are windows to earths interior?
Mantle-derived xenoliths. The magma is mantle and/or subducted-crust-derived. Xenoliths come from the country rock through which the magma rises, so really it's the magma (solidifying as igneous rock) that's the window. For greater depths, seismic analysis is the window.
