Assessment of Surface Radiogenic Heat Flow in Volcanic Rocks of Trindade Island, South Atlantic Ocean, Brazil

Abstract Heat loss from Earth’s interior, driven by conduction and convection, influences lithospheric thermal regimes. This heat originates from mantle convection, primordial planetary accretion, and the decay of radioactive heat-producing elements (RHPE: U-238, U-235, Th-232 and K-40), which contr...
