Type of energy: Heat (thermal) energy.
Two sources of that energy:
- Earth's internal heat (from radioactive decay and residual heat from Earth's formation, driving melting, metamorphism, magma, and plate tectonics)
- The Sun (solar heat, powering weathering, surface heating, runoff, wind and erosion that move and break down rocks)
