What happens to the thermal energy released to the environment?

There is so-called latent heat involved in various chemical and physical changes. Let's just consider one of these, the change from the liquid to the solid state. When you cool a quite small volume of water towards the freezing point the temperature stop decreasing at the freezing point until that water has given up all of its latent heat of fusion. As soon as this happens the water will become ice and its temperature will continue to decline again.

∙ 15y agothe heat will just be absorbed by the environment. It may be converted into electricity. It may be absorbed by heavy run machines. etc.

If thermal energy gets changed into electrical energy what happens to the thermal energy?
Learn itLEARN IT!
Where is the heat thermal energy from the balloon and it's surroundings going?
The heat from a hot air balloon is released in the environment.
What happens to the thermal energy of a material when radiation is absorbed in a material?
The thermal energy increases.
What happens to the energy when its released when firewood is burned?
when the wood burns, chemical reactions occur that change chemical potential energy into thermal energy and light enery. Well, the released energy just simply turns into thermal and light enery.
Is mechanical energy good for the environment?
Thermal energy is (I think) the total kinetic energy. Thermal = heat.
What happens to the thermal energy of a gas when it condenses and forms a a liquid?
The energy is released into the air.

What happens to the energy that is released during an earthquake?
It is dissipated in making physical changes to the rock layers, and to the ground surface, objects, and buildings. Some is released as thermal energy.
What happens to the thermal energy in a car?
The cooling system moves the heat (thermal energy) to the air.
