What else can I help you with?
What are the sources of heat that helps metemorphic rocks form?
Frictional heat, radioactive disintegration/decay, magmatic heat, geothermal gradient, load-pressure effect.
What is the source of heat in the Earth interior?
The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.The decay of radioactive isotopes.
What is the source of heat in the Earth's interior?
The main sources of heat in the Earth's interior are residual heat from the planet's formation, radioactive decay of elements like uranium, thorium, and potassium, and heat generated by ongoing processes like mantle convection and core formation. This heat leads to processes like plate tectonics, volcanic activity, and the Earth's magnetic field.
Can antibiotics effect teeth decay?
no it doesn't cause decay in adults
Does radioactive decay gives off heat or absorbs heat?
Radioactive decay generally releases heat. As unstable nuclei decay, they emit radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays, which can generate thermal energy. This process contributes to the heat production in natural sources like the Earth's interior. Thus, radioactive decay is associated with the release of heat rather than its absorption.
Do radioactive objects emit heat?
Yes, radioactive objects emit heat as a byproduct of their radioactive decay process. This heat is produced by the energy released during the decay of unstable atomic nuclei.
Which of a planet's fundamental properties has the greatest effect on its level of volcanic and tectonic activity?
The planet's internal heat is the fundamental property that has the greatest effect on its level of volcanic and tectonic activity. This heat comes from the planet's formation, radioactive decay of elements, and gravitational energy. The internal heat drives the movement of tectonic plates and leads to volcanic activity.
What causes heat in center of earth?
Radioactive Decay
What king of decay causes geothermal heat?
radioactive
Where does heat originate from the earth?
Underground - from radioactive decay.
Heat that drives mantle convection comes from?
The heat that drives mantle convection primarily comes from the decay of radioactive elements within the Earth's mantle and core. This process releases heat that generates thermal gradients, causing material to move within the mantle. The heat may also originate from the residual heat left over from the Earth's formation.
Does solar energy effect how fast a banana will decay?
Yes.
