First note that "thermal energy" is a term that is long since obsolete. The correct term is "Internal Energy". "Thermal energy" was a term that was in use when people thought of energy as being some kind of fluid called "caloric" that was transferred between things at different temperatures.
With that said: an iceberg has more internal energy when compared to a hot cup of coffee mainly due to the variance in size. Total internal energy is not necessarily determined by the presence of heat but the mass of the molecules present.

∙ 13y agoyes, because it has more molecules therefore each molecule in the iceberg has less heat than the boiling cup of water but when you add up all the heat from all the molecules in the iceberg it will be more energy than the cup of boiling water
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes. Although the temperature of the iceberg is not quite as high as that of a match, there is much more iceberg than there is match. The heat is in 'diluted' form compared to the match.

How is heat different from thermal energy?
There is no particular difference between heat and thermal energy. Heat is a form of thermal energy. Since thermal energy is energy from heat, heat and thermal energy are basically the same thing.
How is heat related to thermal energy?
Heat is the transfer of thermal energy.
Is heat the transfer of potential energy?
No. Heat is thermal energy
What items use heat energy.?
Cooking uses heat energy as the main source. It is the main activity that uses heat as a source of energy.
Is the transfer of thermal energy heat?
Yes. Thermal means heat, so thermal energy is the energy that is produced by heat. Thus, when the heat is added to a system, thermal energy is said to have risen, and if heat is removed, it implies that thermal energy is decreased.
What energy does lighted candle give us?
it has light and heat energy
What are the energy transformation that occur in lighted flashlight?
Chemical>light>Heat
How can an ice sculpture contain more heat energy than a lit match?
It's all a matter of mass. An ice sculpture contains 1 british thermal unit for each pound of ice and every 2.14 degrees Fahrenheit above absolute zero. a burning match gives off approximately 19000 btu per pound in heat energy as it burns. Thus the match, assuming it weighs 14 grains, will give off approximately 38 btus of heat energy until it is fully consumed; whereas a 100lb ice sculpture at 30 degrees fahrenheit contains in total heat energy approximately 20,000 btus more or less. Temperature wise the match is hotter than the ice, but it would melt only a fraction of 1 lb of ice if all the energy were absorbed by the ice. (1 lb of ice requires 144 btus to melt at 32F).
What kind of energy does an unlit match have?
Potential energy, released when the match is struck.
What type of energy do matches use?
A match has chemical energy stored. The moment it is used, this is, of course, converted into heat energy.A match has chemical energy stored.

What form of energy conversion will take place when a bulb is lighted up?
Electrical energy is being converted to light energy and heat energy
What is the energy transformations in a striking match?
The match has stored energy (chemical energy). This is released as heat and light.
What are the energy transformations in striking a match?
When striking a match, the chemical energy stored in the match-head is transformed into heat and light energy.
Lighting a match changes chemical energy into heat and light The total amount of energy?
Lighting a match changes chemical energy into heat and light. The total amount of energy
What type of energy is a burning match?
A burning match uses up heat energy and light energy
Which enery transformation occurs when a match is lit?
The chemical energy - sugars - in your bloodstream are absorbed by the muscle cells in your arms. Your muscles convert this chemical energy into kinetic energy (the energy of motion) in moving the match against the sandpaper surface. The movement of the match against the sandpaper surface causes friction, changing the kinetic energy into heat. The heat of friction in the matchhead causes the phosphorus coating to ignite, converting the heat of friction into heat of combustion, in which the chemical energy in the match is oxidized into radiant heat.
What energy transformations are in a match?
chemical to light to heat energy :)
