Heat is continually escaping across the earth’s surface because the interior is relatively warm, and heat flows by conduction from warm regions to cooler ones. This flux at the earth’s solid surface of heat conducted from the interior is referred to in geophysics as “heat flow. ” Other things being...

Summary:Heat is continually escaping across the earth’s surface because the interior is relatively warm, and heat flows by conduction from warm regions to cooler ones. This flux at the earth’s solid surface of heat conducted from the interior is referred to in geophysics as “heat flow. ” Other things being equal, the more rapidly the
