Almost all the energy that now comes from within the Earth was put there, in one form or another, at the time of its creation {a tiny amount is now added by the flexing of the planet under the tides of Moon and Sun, but it is the merest smidgen}.
The energy produced within the Earth primarily originated during the planet's formation. This energy has largely remained unchanged over billions of years, suggesting a deep-rooted connection to the Earth's early history. It highlights how the geological and geothermal energy we experience today is a remnant of the conditions present at the Earth's inception.
While a minute amount of additional energy is contributed by the tidal forces exerted by the Moon and Sun, this is negligible compared to the vast energy stored since the Earth's creation. This perspective emphasizes the stability and continuity of the Earth's internal energy sources, shaping our understanding of geology and planetary science.
