The internal thermal energy of the Earth can be seen in:

Volcanic activity. Volcanoes expel molten rock to the surface and water vapour, carbon dioxide and other gases into the air.
Very hot rock underground. These rocks heat the groundwater, which causes hot springs and geysers on the surface.
Earthquakes. These brief, violent movements of the crust of the Earth are caused by the sudden release of accumulated energy.
Continental drift. The gradual movement of the continents is caused by convection currents in the mantle.
Mountain formation. Mountains are formed by the folding of the crust of the Earth and by volcanic activity.

So far, you have seen quite a few things about the internal energy of the Earth. Now it’s time to show what you have learnt.

Make a list of key words.
Create a concept map.
Write a summary of the key concepts.
