The energy is stored in the atoms - in the forces between protons and neutrons - from the start, as a type of potential energy.
The number of protons in the nucleus changes.
If it is related to Nuclear studies, then the answer would be fusion.
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.
Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of a nucleus into smaller parts.
Coin-tossing can simulate radioactive decay by assigning a probability of heads or tails to represent decay or stability of a radioactive nucleus. Consistent with the decay probability of a radioactive substance, you can randomly flip the coin to determine decay events over time. Over multiple throws, you can track the number of heads to emulate the decay rate of a radioactive substance.
The radioactive decay produces heat energy, which keeps the convection currents moving.

If you mean "alpha radiation", that is the result of certain types of radioactive decay.
radioactive decay
Radioactive decay heating. The heavy isotopes settled toward the center of the earth early in its formation and many of those isotopes are radioactive, their decay produces heat.
The radioactive decay of americium 241 is by alpha disintegration; the disintegration of radioactive krypton isotopes is by beta particles emission.
The number of protons in the nucleus changes.
If it is related to Nuclear studies, then the answer would be fusion.
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.
The relationship between time and the decay of radioactive substances is shown in a graph of radioactive decay by demonstrating how the amount of radioactive material decreases over time. This decay occurs at a consistent rate, known as the half-life, which is the time it takes for half of the radioactive material to decay. The graph typically shows a gradual decrease in the amount of radioactive substance as time progresses, following an exponential decay curve.
