Question
Give three reasons why the interior of the earth is very hot
Answer
- The radioactivity process taking place in the interior leads to a lot of energy production.
- This keeps the temperature in the interior very hot.
- The overlying materials exert a lot of pressure to the interior resulting to higher temperature.
- When the earth was being formed the mantle and the core cooled at a slower rate than the crust.
- As a result the temperature in the interior are still hot.
