The Earth has 2 sources of heat. The first one is Primordial Heat, and the other is Omega-Isotope Heat.
True
False
Although heat energy is abundant and vital to living things, it is not vital to the rest of the planet.
True
False
The heat of the planet is responsible for the moving of tectonic plates.
True
False
Primordial heat tells us that in the beginning, Earth was just a huge molten rock and the cooling surface became the Earth's crust.
True
False
Radiogenic Heat refers to the ancient energy wrapped inside the earth's core.
True
False
Radiogenic Heat refers to the thermal energy released as a result of spontaneous nuclear disintegration.
True
False
Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact.
True
False
Convection refers to the transfer of heat through liquid or gas.
True
False
Flow of magma from the mantle to the surface through volcanic eruption is an example of Convection.
True
False
Heat transfer through radiation only happens between the sun and the Earth.
True
False
The following refer to Radiogenic heat EXCEPT ____.
It contributes to 50% of the Earth's internal heat.
It is the main cause of abnormalities in our global climate.
It is the thermal energy released as a result of spontaneous nuclear disintegration.
It involves the disintegration of natural radioactive elements inside the earth – like Uranium, Thorium and Potassium.
The following refer to Primordial heat EXCEPT ____.
It is the 50% of Earth's heat created during the formation of oceans.
It is the internal heat in our planet that was made during the early formation of the Earth.
It is the heat from ancient days trapped inside the core.
