The heat that remains inside the Earth from its creation and radioactive decay are its main heat sources.
The deep earth receives heat from three main sources: (1) heat left over from the planet's formation and accretion, (2) frictional heating brought on by denser core material sinking to the planet's centre, and (3) heat from radioactive element decay.
The energy produced when unstable atoms decay is known as radioactivity, and it is a substantial contributor to the Earth's heat. The main source are the radioactive isotopes of uranium-235 (235U), uranium-238 (238U), potassium-40 (40K), and thorium-232 (232Th) in the Earth's mantle.

Answer:
El ciclo del agua es el viaje continuo que el agua toma desde el mar, hacia el cielo, hacia la tierra y de regreso al mar. El movimiento del agua alrededor de nuestro planeta es vital para la vida, ya que es compatible con plantas y animales.
Answer:
E. Mineral content
Explanation:
Viscosity is an internal property of a fluid that offers resistance to flow, the nature of volcanic eruptions is highly dependent on magma viscosity and also on dissolved gas content (dissolved gases become trapped by thick magma and the magma chamber begins to build pressure).
The viscosity of magma is controlled by the size of the molecules that comprise it.
<em>Felsic lava contains elements of small size (sodium and aluminum), these elements form polymers and large crystalline macromolecules like silica, the more extensive silicate chain molecules the more viscous the magma becomes, this happens because larger molecules have stronger intermolecular bonds preventing movement and spreading. </em>
Mafic and ultramafic lava, on the other hand, have lower viscosities, also contain lower quantities of silica and aluminum and are rich in magnesium oxide, which does not form large molecular structures, therefore lava flows smoothly, unrestricted by intermolecular forces.

The conflicts in Xinjiang, Chechnya, and Quebec all have to do with the desire to become a sovereign state.
Most people in Quebec feel threatened that the unique French culture found there would become assimilated with the Anglospheric culture found in the rest of Canada.
Xinjiang is inhabited primarily by the Uygurs, a Turkic ethnic group. Separatists believe that the region did not belong to China to begin with, even though it was illegally occupied in 1949.
Chechnya is in a state of Russian occupation and independence, which goes back from the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
