The correct answer is option B, that is, the formation of geological layers.  

The flow of heat from the interior of the Earth to the surface is predicted in term of terawatts and it comes from two prime sources and it comes in approximately equal concentrations, that is, the radiogenic heat generated by the radioactive decay of isotopes in the crust and the mantle, and the accretion heat or the primordial heat left over from the creation of the Earth.  

Apart from this, the gravitational compression refers to a procedure in which gravity functioning on the mass of an object, compresses it, minimizing its size, and enhances the density of the object. At the center of a plant, the gravitational compression generates heat by the mechanism of Kelvin-Helmholtz.  

The generation of the geological layers refers to the fundamental unit of lithostratigraphy. It is a formation comprising of some amount of rock strata, which exhibits a comparable facies, lithology, or other identical characteristics. However, the process does not directly contribute to Earth's high internal temperatures.

Which of the following environments would not contain fossils
juin [17]

Answer:

as I know

Explanation:

<em>Igneous rocks, which form from cooling magma or lava, and metamorphic rocks, which have been altered by heat and pressure, are unlikely to contain fossils. The “soft” tissues of an organism, such as skin, muscles, and internal organs are typically not preserved as fossils.</em>

What can be transferred between objects?
tekilochka [14]

Heat can be transferred from one object to another since, If there is a temperature difference between two systems, heat will always find a way to transfer from the higher to the lower system.

Kinetic energy can be transferred from one object to another, when two objects crash. One example of kinetic energy being transferred from one object to another would be a collision of pool balls, Since one ball would hit another causing it to move. Also Kinetic Energy is, “The <u>energy</u> of motion, observable as the movement of an object, particle, or set of particles. Any object in motion is using kinetic energy: a person walking, a thrown baseball, a crumb falling from a table, and a charged particle in an electric field are all examples of kinetic energy at work.”

And last but not least, Thermal Energy which, is often referred to as heat. The thermal energy of matter depends on how fast the atoms or molecules are moving. The faster they are moving, the more thermal energy they possess. Therefore, the temperature of the matter would be higher. Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy. One example of Thermal energy being transferred from one object to another is, Thermal energy from a hot stove is transferred to a metal pot and causes the water molecules to move faster increasing the temperature of the water. Fun fact; Thermal Energy can be transferred in three ways known as, Conduction, Convention, Radiation.
