Question
what is the primary source of earths internal heat besides radioactive decay? chemical reactions magnetic fields solar radiation gravitational energy
The Earth's internal heat sources include radioactive decay and gravitational energy. Gravitational energy from the formation of the Earth and density - driven convection contributes to the internal heat. Chemical reactions do not significantly contribute to Earth's internal heat on a large scale. Magnetic fields are not a source of internal heat. Solar radiation affects the Earth's surface and atmosphere, not the internal heat.
