  We show that a recently introduced class of electromagnetic composite
particles can explain some discrepancies in observations involving heat and
helium released from the earth. Energy release during the formation of the
composites and subsequent nuclear reactions involving the composites are
described that can quantitatively account for the discrepancies and are
expected to have implications in other areas of geophysics, for example, a new
picture of heat production and volcanism in the earth is presented.
