What forms whenever air is rising?
Heat
How does heat travel from the sun to earth?
Heat from the sun transfers to Earth through radiation.
How does heat energy from the sun get to the earth?
RadiationHeat can't travel through a vacuum, directly, so the sun emits energy as light. The earth receives about a two billionth of the sunlight emitted, but the light is converted to heat and other energy forms.
What role does the decay of radioactive elements deep within Earth play in the formation of a volcano?
The internal heat of the Earth is thought to be about 20% residual heat from planetary accretion and about 80% from radioactive decay. The internal heat provides heat to liquefy magma and send plumes of the hot material upward, through the mantle, to the surface. This material comes out from the surface in various forms, such as lava, and thus forms volcanoes.
Does heat from the earths interior reaches earth through conduction?
Heat from the earth's interior reaches the surface through a combination of convection and conduction.
The heat from the sun reaches Earth through convection true or false?
That statement is false. The heat from the sun does NOTreach the Earth through convection.
Does radiation heat the earth through convection?
Yes. Radiation waves given off by the sun, heat the Earth through convection. Convection is the movement of heat transfer through liquids or gases, as seen in this example.
What type of rock forms from heat and pressure deep in the earth?
Metamorphic rocks
Sunlight passes through but does not heat the earth watercloudsor air?
it does not heat the clouds
How is heat transferred through earth?
heat conduction, convection, thermal radiation.
As energy is being converted through it's many forms it is continuously lost through?
Heat
Is friction a way to produce heat energy?
Yes. Whenever energy is wasted through friction, most of this wasted energy is converted to heat.
