Fire is hotter at the bottom, because this is where the combustion is taking place. Towards the top of the flame, heat is being dispersed into the surrounding air and it is further away from the site of combustion.

Does water boil faster at sea level than on the top of a mountain?
Water boils faster on top of a mountain than at sea level because the boiling point of water is reduced with reduced atmospheric pressure.
Is boiling water radiation?
It would be convection. When the water at the bottom of the pot is heated, its particles move faster, and they also move farther apart. As a result, the heated water becomes less dense. Recall, less dense water will float on top of a more dense one. The heated water rises the surrounding cooler water flows into its place. This flow created a circular motion called convection currents. (:
Why is water at the bottom of a immiscible liquid?
Water is only at the bottom of a mixture of immiscible liquids if it is the densest liquid. If the other liquid is denser than water, water will be at the top, as would occur in a mixture of water and mercury in a beaker. The density of water is 1.00 g/ml, mercury is 13.5 g/ml and olive oil is about 0.85 g/ml. Therefore water will be on the bottom of an oil/water mixture, but will be on the top of a mercury/water mixture.
Does hot and cold water mix with food coloring when hot water rises to the top?
I think not because cold water is heaver than hot water and hot water rises to the top and cold drops to the bottom.
When you are measuring the volume of water in a graduated cylinder do you look at the top of the meniscus or the bottom of the meniscus?
You measure from the bottom of the meniscus. The top of the meniscus can vary wildly depending on the diameter of the tube, or the air pressure, or room temperature.
What direction does water flow in a radiator?
from the top to the bottom
Does the north Atlantic deep water flow on top of Antarctic bottom water?
Yes, Atlantic deep water is warmer and less dense than the Antarctic bottom water, so it flows on top.
How does the slope of an area affect its runoff?
It really depends on the slope. If it is a steep slope, the runoff will flow downhill faster and collect more at the bottom. If it is a pretty level slope, the runoff won't collect at the bottom of it. The water will just flood the top of the slope.
When doing the tornado in a bottle experiment does air flow from the bottom to the top?
Yes. Air moves into the top bottle to replace the volume of water that has flowed into the bottom.
Does the depth of a river affect the speed of the flow?
Yes because in shallow watewr the water and the bottom of the river rub and create friction in deep water the water the water is moving on top of another layer of water so less friction is created making it faster.
How does a small block Chevy water pump flow?
In through the bottom hose, out through the top.
What type of water will things float down faster in warm or cold?
Cold will sink to the bottom. Hot water will rise to the top.
Does the radiator on a 1999 mercury mountaineer come out from the top or bottom?
When the thermostat is open the coolant will flow through the top radiator hose in to the radiator and out to the water pump through the bottom radiator hose
When water of different densities meet what happen?
Water that is more dense will flow beneath the water that is less dense
How does an aircraft manage to fly in air?
The secret is Bernouilli's principle. This says that the faster air flows, the lower its pressure. So we build an aeroplane with wings that are curved on the top and flat on the bottom, ie with a d-shaped cross section. When the plane is pushed through the air by jets or propellers the air will flow across the top and bottom of the wings. BUT the air on top has further to go, because the top of the wing is convex , than the air at the bottom. So it will flow faster to keep up with the air at the bottom. That means, according to Bernouilli, that the air pressure will drop in the faster flowing air at the top of the wing. So the wing will be pushed up by the air at the bottom. Hopefully when the wings are pushed up, the body will go up as well. Or the wings will be ripped off.
What direction does the coolant flow through the thermostat?
bottom to top
What flow near the bottom of the ocean and sometimes flow on top of other currents?
Turbidity Current.
