Neither is a major source of heat here, most of this is friction, the running mat drags against a static surface and with the weight of a human on it it has a LOT of friction and that generates heat.
Also, regularly lubricate your treadmills if you want any durability.

Probably friction from the fact that it has to constantly slide while being pressed into the plate under the tread with the force of an adult human.
Neither. It's friction.
Weird that the treadmill is at room temperature while the room is frigid.
...I live in Texas
Basement room, so it's cool.
