The Earth’s crust is losing energy over time however there are some processes which are generating heat, there are atoms of Uranium and other heavy elements which are naturally undergoing decay which releases energy like a nuclear reactor, the core of the Earth is also under pressure and as the Moon orbits the Earth the Earth is slightly squeezed which generates heat.
