Depends on the size of the mountain and the tempeature and size of the stew.

When ice on a plate melts why does the plate cool down as well?
When ice is placed on a plate that is warmer than the ice, some of the heat energy from the plate is transferred to the ice. (This is due to the molecules in the plate transferring kinetic energy to those in the ice. The molecules in the plate crash into those in the ice, losing speed and giving the molecules in the ice more speed). Since the heat energy is transferred away from the plate, the plate cools down. (The ice is not cooling down, it is heating up.)
How does temperature affect energy?
Thermal energy is heat. More heat is more thermal energy.
Why is a metal plate used in heat sinks?
because metal is a good conductor of energy (there are a lot of free electrons in a metal) and this will cause the metal to absorb and radiate more energy combined with the increased surface area of the heat sink
Is light thermal energy?
Thermal energy is not light. It is heat! Energy of heat and temperature of matter (more heat=more thermal energy=more movement of molecules) Temperature measures movement of molecules
Does thermal energy depend on the amount of a substance?
Thermal energy is heat. More heat is more thermal energy.
What has more energy?
Sun has more energy. It is the source of heat and light.
How can you make a building with plate glass walls more energy efficient?
Consider installing light colored shades or fabric to reflect heat rays during the summer.
What would happen to the global winds if no more heat energy reached earth?
We would lose heat and have more energy
Does tectonic plate size effect earthquake magnitude?
Tectonic plate size does affect earthquake magnitude. Earthquakes happen when one plate slides above/below another plate, to do this it takes massive amounts of convection energy from the mantle to move the plate above. The larger the mass of the plate, the more energy is needed to move it which means that large plates have a lot of stored up energy in them before the quake in question. When the energy is released the plate boundary snaps releasing all the built up energy. As there was so much energy stored in the plate the more is released, causing a larger, more devastating earthquake.
Heat energy in a sentence?
Heat energy is the result of particles vibrating, when you heat something up it causes the particles in it to vibrate more, which we experience as heat. Its all to do with the amount of internal energy something has. Do you need more detail?
Does solar power need heat?
yes solar energy needs heat as it is the directly receving energy from the sun and it is the energy which provides more heat
Where do heat get energy from?
For one thing, heat is a radiant form of energy. When atoms and molecules have energy, they oscillate at a certain rate. Due to this movement, there is energy expended, and one of the byproducts of this expenditure is thermal radiation, heat being of that category. The more energy in process within atoms and molecules, the more thermal radiation, i.e. more heat.
