The Earth was hot when it formed due to the process of accretion, where gravity caused particles to come together to form the planet. Additionally, radioactive decay of elements within the Earth's interior also contributed to its initial heat. Over time, this heat has been gradually dissipating through processes like conduction and convection.
What else can I help you with?
Why is the core so hot?
Some of the core's heat comes from the breakdown of radioactive atoms. Much of the heat energy is left over from when Earth first formed.
What state was formed from a hot spot?
Hawaii was formed from a hot spot, which is a location where hot magma rises from deep within the Earth and creates volcanic activity on the surface over a stationary point. The magma formed the Hawaiian Islands as the Pacific tectonic plate moved over the hot spot.
How hot is the melted rock inside earth?

Is Kilauea on a divergent boundary?
No. Kilauea was formed when the Pacific Plate moved over a hot spot in the Earth's mantle. Magma formed a plume upward into the Earth's crust and formed a volcano: Kilauea. 9 +10 = 21
Is kilauea volcano a hot spot?
Yes, Kilauea volcano in Hawaii is considered a hot spot volcano. This means it is formed by a mantle plume beneath the Earth's crust, creating a source of heat and molten rock that erupts to the surface.
What is Yellowstone formed on?
A hot spot in the Earth's mantle.
Why is earth's core so hot?
Some of the core's heat comes from the breakdown of radioactive atoms. Much of the heat energy is left over from when Earth first formed.
How hot was the earth 4 billion years ago when it formed?
redhot...
What is formed when hot liquids deep in the earth burst through the surface?
magma
What makes the earth's mantle so hot?
the earth's mantle is full of lava so the lava is what makes it so hot
Why is the center of the earth hot-?
The center of the earth is hot because of heat retained from when the planet formed, frictional heating and heat that comes from the decay of radioactive elements.
Why is the core so hot?
Some of the core's heat comes from the breakdown of radioactive atoms. Much of the heat energy is left over from when Earth first formed.
Why is the water inside the earth is hot?
.The water in the earth is hot because there's lava well magma in the earth so it would be hot of course.
What state was formed from a hot spot?

Why did thomas neale invent the equator?
the middle of the earth was so hot it exploded. this is why it is so hot
How are geothermal pools formed?
Geothermal pools are formed where the hot rocks below the surface of the earth are close enough to warm pools of water on the surface. Areas of volcanic activity typically have hot springs, as in the North Island of New Zealand.
