question 13 (5 points)\nlisten\nwhich of the following is responsible for about half of the heat generated by earth’s core?\na) residual heat from earth’s formation\nb) radioactive decay of elements\nc) sunlight\nd) frictional heating

Answer

Brief Explanations:

Radioactive decay of elements in Earth's core releases a significant amount of heat and is responsible for about half of the heat generated by Earth's core. Residual heat from formation contributes but is not about half. Sunlight does not heat the core. Frictional heating is not a major source of core - heat.

Answer:

B. Radioactive decay of elements
