Examples

;Radioactive decay In addition of tidal heating, the interior of Europa could also be heated by the decay of radioactive material ( radiogenic heating ) within the rocky mantle. Source: Internet

Research models have found that if the orbital eccentricity were an order of magnitude greater than currently (as it may have been in the past), tidal heating would be a more substantial heat source than radiogenic heating. Source: Internet

Therefore, given sufficient time for significant production (ingrowth) of radiogenic 87 Sr, measured 87 Sr/ 86 Sr values will be different in the minerals, increasing in the same order. Source: Internet

These decay-products are termed radiogenic isotopes, in order to distinguish them from the much larger group of 'non-radiogenic' isotopes. Source: Internet

This, thus, allows a different rate of radiogenic Sr to evolve in the separate rocks and their component minerals as time progresses. Source: Internet
