Well mantle convection is thought to make up about eighty percent of the internal heat flow to the surface, while the remainder originates in the crust.

The earths core.


How is heat from earths interior transferred to earths surface by convections?

Beneath the surface of the earth temperature remains the same. Within the Earth, irregular convection cells within the mantle transfer heat from the core to the surface of the planet. Volcanoes and earthquakes are two examples of heat transferring from the interior to the surface.


How hot does the core of the earth get?

the earths core gets hot by all the heat on the surface and gose to the core of the earth.


How is heat transfer in the earths mantle related to the movement of the earths crust?

Heat transfer in the Earth's mantle drives the movement of the Earth's crust through the process of convection. As mantle material heats up, it becomes less dense and rises, causing the overlying crust to move. At the same time, cooler mantle material sinks back down, completing the cycle of heat transfer and driving the continuous motion of tectonic plates.

How much longer will the earths core have heat?

The Earth's core will continue to have heat for billions of years. It is estimated that the core will remain hot for another 1 to 1.5 billion years before it cools down significantly.
