Ernest Rutherford, however it was Arthur Holmes who did the majority of the in depth work in this field.
The main sources of heat in the Earth's interior are residual heat from the planet's formation, radioactive decay of elements like uranium, thorium, and potassium, and heat generated by ongoing processes like mantle convection and core formation. This heat leads to processes like plate tectonics, volcanic activity, and the Earth's magnetic field.
scientist can determine a fossil's age in two ways: relative dating and absolute dating
The decay product ratio is the ratio of the amount of a specific decay product to the amount of the parent isotope in a radioactive decay chain. It is used to determine the relative contribution of different decay pathways in the decay of a radioactive substance.
The process by which some substances spontaneously emit radiation is called radioactive decay. During this process, unstable atomic nuclei release particles (such as alpha or beta particles) or electromagnetic radiation (such as gamma rays) to achieve a more stable configuration.
This process through which unstable nuclei emit radiation is called radioactive decay. It also is called nuclear decay, and it is a natural process in which an atom of an isotope decomposes into a new element.

it is used by scientist to to calculate a rock's age

radioactive decay
No, this statement is not true because Radioactivity or Radioactive decay is independent of temperature.
The radioactive decay of americium 241 is by alpha disintegration; the disintegration of radioactive krypton isotopes is by beta particles emission.
If it is related to Nuclear studies, then the answer would be fusion.
How to make alloys. (Next time, do the test on your own, okay?)
Decay energy is the energy that has been freed during radioactive decay. When radioactive decay is ongoing it drops off some energy by means of discharging radiation.
One reason is that radioactive decay heats the earths interior
That statement is not entirely accurate. Radioactive decay can involve the emission of alpha particles, beta particles (electrons or positrons), and gamma rays. Electrons can be involved in certain types of radioactive decay processes.
