=== Plate tectonics and heat distribution ===
 
The unequal distribution of the heat inside the Earth is what causes the movement of tectonic plates and all of  endogenous phenomena ([[:File:Distribution of surface heat flow.png|Figure 3]]). Areas having higher heat flows are related to plate borders or hot spots. These higher flows are related to other parameters such as width, thermic conductivity, permeability, fluid presence, etc.
