1. Core in the interior of the earth can be classified as primordial and radiogenic heat.
2. The thermal energy released as a result of spontaneous nuclear disintegration is called Radiogenic Heat while the internal heat energy accumulated by dissipation in a planet during its few million years of evolution is called Primordial heat.
3. There are three processes can transfer heat:conduction, convection and radiation.
4. conduction governs the thermal conditions in almost entire solid portions of the Earth and plays a very important role in the lithosphere.
5. convection involves the transfer of heat by the movement of mass, which is a more efficient means of heat transport in the Earth compared to pure conduction.
6. Radiation is the least important mode of heat transport in the Earth.
7. Convection current is relevant to the movement of tectonic plates because the heat builds up pressure underneath the crust.
8. The Thermal energy of the core is transferred to the surface of the earth and the lower levels of the ocean by conduction.
9. Air molecules come in contact with the warmer surface of the land or ocean, resulting in the increase of its thermal energy through conduction.
10. The area where subduction occurs is called the Subduction zone
