What is thermal enegry produced by?

Answer 1

There are a number of principles associated with characterizing the phenomenon of thermal energy. They are generally though of being, and considered/evaluated under the heading of, heat transfer or thermodynamics. The most general answer is this: heat goes from where it's hot to where it's not. Obvious. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on heat and on thermodynamics. Use them. And no, you won't get tricked. Promise.

Answer 2

Thermal energy is mostly produced by heat.

Welcome to Maniac Examples!!

Examples, Examples: Putting ice on your porch in the summer. The ice melts quickly, causing thermal energy.

Answer 3

In simple terms energy can never be created or destroyed it can only change form therefore you do not produce thermal energy but change a number of forms of stored energy into thermal energy. Therefore thermal energy can be produced from multiple forms of other energy - by splitting atoms, by burning fuels (coal, oil, gas, biofuels etc). Rubbing your hands together creates thermal energy from friction which is created by the muscles in your body burning energy.

Answer 4

Almost any other type of energy will eventually convert to thermal energy, when the energy is dissipated or wasted.

Answer 5

The sunlight gets absorbed, and heats something up.

Answer 6

The answer depends on what it is being converted to.

Answer 7

heat
