-If you mean the surface, it's because of the sun. It partially has to do with pollution (global warming). There's like a shield around the Earth. The "shield" protects living things from some of the sun's heat. With too much CO2 in the air, the shield is weakening.

-If you mean the seasons, it's because of the Earth's tilt on its axis. The part closer to the sun is hotter (frankly, the equator).

-If you mean the inside of the Earth, it's because of geothermal energy. Heat comes from the Earth too!

Why is the interior of the Earth hot?

The interior of the Earth is hot due to the heat generated from the decay of radioactive elements, leftover heat from the Earth's formation, and the pressure from the immense weight of the overlying rock layers.


What are the five Hot Spots on the Earth?

There are more than just five hot spots throughout the whole Earth. There is the Tasman hot spot, the Hawaii hot spot, the Galapagos hot spot, the Yellowstone hot spot, Easter Island hot spot, Bouvet hot spot, St. Helena hot spot, the Canary Islands hot spot, and then Iceland hot spot.


Are hot spots above or below Earth's surface?

Hot spots are located below Earth's surface. They are stationary points where magma from the mantle plume rises and creates volcanic activity. Over time, as tectonic plates move, hot spots can create chains of volcanic islands on the Earth's surface.


Is the earth crust hot?

The crust is the cool part of the Earth. It is the surface we live on. It should be at a comfortable temperature until it reaches down to the mantle, the next layer. That area will be hotter. Then at the center, is the core. That is the hot part of the Earth's interior. It is about 3500° C. Estimates vary from 2000 to 7000, but it is HOT!About 447 in Fahrenheit


What layer of the earth is hot and semisolid?

The layer of the Earth that is hot and semi-solid is the mantle. The mantle is located between the Earth's crust and core and is made up of molten rock, called magma, that circulates due to heat convection from the Earth's core.
