messiahjonz addresses the Earth's heat and expansion

messiahjonz once again addresses the nonsense that is expanding earth idea.

Heat
Earth's internal heat comes from a combination of residual heat from planetary accretion (about 20%) and heat produced through radioactive decay (80%).[60] The major heat-producing isotopes in the Earth are potassium-40, uranium-238, uranium-235, and thorium-232.[61] At the center of the planet, the temperature may be up to 7,000 K and the pressure could reach 360 GPa.[62] Because much of the heat is provided by radioactive decay, scientists believe that early in Earth history, before isotopes with short half-lives had been depleted, Earth's heat production would have been much higher. This extra heat production, twice present-day at approximately 3 billion years ago,[60] would have increased temperature gradients within the Earth, increasing the rates of mantle convection and plate tectonics, and allowing the production of igneous rocks such as komatiites that are not formed today.[63]
Present-day major heat-producing isotopes[64]

238U9.46 × 10-54.47 × 10930.8 × 10-92.91 × 10-12
235U5.69 × 10-47.04 × 1080.22 × 10-91.25 × 10-13
232Th2.64 × 10-51.40 × 1010124 × 10-93.27 × 10-12
40K2.92 × 10-51.25 × 10936.9 × 10-91.08 × 10-12
Total heat loss from the earth is 4.2 × 1013 Watts.[65] A portion of the core's thermal energy is transported toward the crust by Mantle plumes; a form of convection consisting of upwellings of higher-temperature rock. These plumes can produce hotspots and flood basalts.[66] More of the heat in the Earth is lost through plate tectonics, by mantle upwelling associated with mid-ocean ridges. The final major mode of heat loss is through conduction through the lithosphere, majority of which occurs in the oceans due to the crust there being much thinner than that of the continents.[65]

Thats what you get when you believe someone else. Do you understand how a red giant is formed? Nuclear fussion. They also thought the earth was flat. In conclusion you better not take a cruise ship to the edge of the earth. Enjoy your flat earth closed minded reality.

[messiahjonz]

@Rodger2727 Rodger... if you are implying that the Earth is a star, and therefore expanding due to nuclear fussion... then it is not I that is believing someone else.

Rodger... you mention "they"... who is they?

As for the flat Earth nonsense... you seem to have assumed that I am some religious nut job that believes in such lunacy.

Rodger, I would call you a moron... but I do not want to insult morons.

Maybe reading, or having someone read for you, is in order?

Have a nice day! :)

Hey there jonz! Long time no see. If you don't remember me I was a Room 4 reg in yahoo chat. Great video. See you around. : )

[messiahjonz]

Yes! Yes! I remember you necro, how have you been? Great seeing some of the regs around in other forums.

[MrJuniorPowers]

Yay for religion! Fucking sad smh.

[messiahjonz]

Oh, and your daughter is kind of cute!

Yes, I went there.

[messiahjonz]

Again, you quote me out of context.

There is no "expansion"...

there is accretion.

That was your final comment, thanks for playing.

[messiahjonz]

The comment I made,

"The Earth has not expanded. No evidence for it. ",

if taken in context, was concerning expansion due to heat, not accretion.

Remember the name of the video you watched and are posting on?

"messiahjonz addresses the Earth's heat and expansion"

Please try to have some semblance of honesty in your posts.

If you fail to understand why I posted the concept of differentiation, then you sadly fail to understand it and its application here.
