Answer:

They are emitted from heated objects

Step-by-step explanation:

When objects are heated, they emit light at all wavelengths thereby forming a continuous spectrum. Electromagnetic radiation of all wavelengths and colours are usually represented in such spectrum. A thermal spectrum is quite a simple spectrum since it depends on temperature.
