Places near the equator are so hot because the earth is tilted towards the sun , the north axis receives the most sunlight every 3 monts the other 3 months the the other 6 months are spring and fall where neither side is tilted the equater is so hot because it has only two seasons because the sun reflects on its surface all year long.,
<span>Conduction probably is the main method in the crust, but do not underestimate fluid convection. Every time you find a hot spring, then that is an example of fluid convection. ... Since these two are separate heat transfer from the outer core to the mantle is also mainly by conduction</span>
