How does radioactive decay contribute to Earth's internal heat?
Radioactive atoms tend to have a less stable form.
Particles of dust origin collided and accumulated.
To become more stable, radioactive atoms emit high energy particles and waves.
Materials in the earth moved and separated into layers.

How does differentiation energy add to Earth’s internal heat?
Movement of materials produce friction that is converted to heat.
Planetesimals collided and grew into a terrestrial planet.
Radioactive isotopes emit high energy waves and particles.
Denser materials rise to the surface and lighter ones sink to the center.
