The Earth’s Internal Heat

Earth and Life Science Presented by: Group 3

 Guide Question 1:
Explain and a. Conduction
Discuss the b.Convection
process of Heat
Transfer. c. Radiation
a. Conduction
 Governs the thermal conditions in almost entire solid
portions of the Earth.
 Conduction is the process by which heat is
transferred from the hotter end to the colder end of an
object. Heat spontaneously flows from a hotter body
to a colder body.
 Forexample, heat is conducted from the hotplate of
an electric stove to the bottom of a saucepan in
contact with it.
b. Convection
 Dominates the thermal conditions in the zones where
large quantities of fluids exist.
 Convection is single or multiphase fluid flow that
occurs spontaneously due to the combined effects of
material property heterogeneity and body forces on a
fluid, most commonly density and gravity.
 Forexample, a radiator puts warm air out at the top
and draws in cooler air at the bottom.
c. Radiation
Process of heat exchange between the sun
and the Earth.
For example, heat or light from the sun,
microwaves from an oven, X rays from an
X-ray tube and gamma rays from
radioactive elements.
 Guide Question 2:
Explain and a.Primodal
Discuss the 2
b.Radiogenic
Sources of
Heat.
a. Primodal Heat
 Isthe internal heat energy accumulated by
dissipation in a planet during its first few million
years of evolution.
 The main contributions to the primordial heat are
Accretional Energy.
 Accretional Energy - is the heat generated by the
conversion of the kinetic energy of impacting
bodies to thermal energy.
b. Radiogenic Heat
Isthe thermal energy released as a result of
spontaneous nuclear disintegration of
natural radioactive elements inside the
planet ; Uranium, Thorium, and Potassium.
Questions:
What is the difference between Conduction,
Convection and Radiation?
Can Conduction, Convection and Radiation
occur at the same time?
