ENDOGENIC PROCESS- “Heat Energy’’

1. Describe the parts and function of Earth’s interior.

2. Describe where the Earth’s internal heat comes from.
3. Identify the sources of Earth’s internal heat; namely, radiogenic heat and primordial
heat.
4. Describe the processes of heat transfer in Earth’s mantle.
INTERNAL HEAT ENERGY OF EARTH

 It plays a vital role in our planet. It is one of the extreme factors in what
makes the world livable.
How do we know that our Earth has this
internal heat energy?
 Volcanic activity
 Formation of mountain ranges
 Ridges
 Trenches
 Valleys
 Other more that indicates that our planet have this internal heat.
2 sources of heat by our planet

 Primordial heat
 Radiogenic
 Primordial heat
 Is the internal heat energy
accumulated by dissipation in a
planet during its first few million
years of evolution.
 ACCRETIONAL ENERGY the energy
that have been deposited during
the early stages of earth.

 The heat would take tens of

thousand of years to reach the
surface
Radiogenic Heat
 Is the thermal energy
released as a result of
spontaneous nuclear
disintegration of natural
radioactive elements inside
the planet; uranium,
thorium and Potassium.
 Without the process of
radioactive decay, there
would be fewer volcanoes
and earthquakes- and less
formation of earths vast
mountain ranges
FURTHER UNDERSTAND

 ANSWER WHETHER IT IS A PH OR RH.

Conduction
 Conduction carries heat from the
Earth's core and radiation from
the Sun to the Earth's surface.
When the atmosphere in normal
temperature contacts with the
warm surfaces of the land, it
transfer thermal energy, then it
will heats up the rest of the air
through convection.
 It involves direct contact with
the heat
Convection
 is the transfer of heat by the
movement of mass, and it is a
more effective mode of heat
transport in the Earth than pure
conduction.
 It is the movement of molecules
Radiation
 is the least important mode of
heat transport in the Earth. The
process of heat exchange
between the Sun and the Earth,
through radiation, controls the
temperatures at the Earth's
surface.
Normal faults

 are two blocks of crust layer pulling apart, extending the crust into a valley
thus, creating a space. A normal fault has the upper side or hanging wall
appears to have moved downward with respect to the footwall. The Basin and
Range Province in North America and the East African Rift Zone are two
notable districts where normal fault is spreading apart Earth's crust
Reverse faults

 are also known as thrust faults, the slide one block of crust on top of another.
These faults are normally found in collision zones where tectonic plates push
up mountain ranges, for example, the Himalayas and Rocky Mountains.
