Conduction, radiation, and convection carry heat from the Earth's surface to the atmosphere. The majority of energy transfer occurs at the Earth's surface due to the weak conductivity of air. Conduction has a direct effect on air temperature only a few millimeters into the atmosphere. Geothermal energy is the heat produced deep in the Earth's core. Geothermal energy is a clean, renewable resource that can be harnessed for use as heat and electricity. Geothermal energy is heat that is generated within the Earth. Conduction directly affects air temperature only a few centimeters into the atmosphere. During the day, sunlight heats the ground, which in turn heats the air directly above it via conduction. At night, the ground cools and the heat flows from the warmer air directly above to the cooler ground via conduction.

Convection occurs when heat is carried away from your body via moving air. If the surrounding air is cooler than your skin, the air will absorb your heat and rise. As the warmed air rises around you, cooler air moves in to take its place and absorb more of your warmth. The faster this air moves, the cooler you feel. Conduction is a slow process of heat transfer as regards warming of the atmosphere. Since air is a very poor conductor of heat, the conduction process affects only the lowermost layers of air closest to the earth's surface. Conduction directly affects air temperature only a few centimeters into the atmosphere. During the day, sunlight heats the ground, which in turn heats the air directly above it via conduction. At night, the ground cools and the heat flows from the warmer air directly above to the cooler ground via conduction. Convection is a vital process which helps to redistribute energy away from hotter areas to cooler areas of the Earth, aiding temperature circulation and reducing sharp temperature differences. Conduction is the process of heat transfer from molecule to molecule. This energy transfer process requires contact. Conduction is not an efficient mechanism to transfer heat in the atmosphere on large spatial scales. Convection is heat transfer by mass motion of a fluid. Conduction is crucial in warming the lower layers of the climate. The air in touch with the earth rises on warming as it flows. This course of vertical warming of the environment is known as convection. The convective exchange of energy is restricted uniquely to the lower atmosphere. Geothermal energy refers to the heat and electricity produced by using the heat from the interior of the Earth. Geothermal energy exists because; the Earth grows progressively hotter with increasing depth.

During the day, sunlight heats the ground, which in turn heats the air directly above it via conduction. At night, the ground cools and the heat flows from the warmer air directly above to the cooler ground via conduction. The sun's radiation strikes the ground, thus warming the rocks. As the rock's temperature rises due to conduction, heat energy is released into the atmosphere, forming a bubble of air which is warmer than the surrounding air.Heat flow is the movement of heat (energy) from the interior of Earth to the surface. The source of most heat comes from the cooling of the Earth's core and the radioactive heat generation in the upper 20 to 40 km of the Earth's crust. The sun's waves heat the ground, causing it to warm. The energy flows from the warmer ground to the cooler air, causing it to rise. When the rising air reaches a certain point, it expands, cools, and the cooler expanded air can no longer hold as much water vapor so it rains.
