What brought molten rock to the surface?
pressure from the heat under the earths surface
Why earths interior is warmer than earths surface?
Earth's surface is free to radiate heat into space. The interior is not. The interior does transfer heat the the surface, but rather slowly. It is hot due to residual heat from Earth's formation and from the heat generated by the decay of radioactive elements.
How is heat from earths interior transferred to earths surface by convections?
Beneath the surface of the earth temperature remains the same. Within the Earth, irregular convection cells within the mantle transfer heat from the core to the surface of the planet. Volcanoes and earthquakes are two examples of heat transferring from the interior to the surface.
If the earths surface is cold what will happend to the earth above it?
If the Earth's surface is cold, it will lead to cooling of the air above it due to direct contact and heat transfer. The cold surface will cause the air above it to become cooler, which can affect weather patterns, lead to the formation of fog or dew, and impact temperature gradients in the atmosphere.
Hoe does air circulate around earths surface?
Heat from the sun
If the mantle and the core are extremely hot why is the heat coming from these layers not felt on the earths surface?
Rock is a very poor conductor of heat and there is quite a lot of it between the surface and the mantle. As a result heat conducts to the surface very slowly and quickly radiates into space. As a result the vast majority of heat at Earth's surface comes from the sun. The heat from the mantle is felt at erupting volcanoes where magma, which ultimately gets it heat from the mantle, reaches the surface.
Air in the what is warmed by heat from the earths surface?
The air in the troposphere is warmed by heat from the Earth's surface through the process of conduction and convection. As the Earth's surface absorbs solar radiation, it heats up and transfers some of this heat to the air directly above it. This warming of the air creates temperature gradients and drives weather patterns and atmospheric circulation.
How is earth atmosphere warmed evenly?
Energy is transferred between the earths surface and the atmosphere via conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transmitted through contact with neighboring molecules.
What is the height requirement from range to over the range microwave?
According to NKBA guidlines, 'At least 24" clearance between cooking surface and a protected surface above (this refers to the heat resistant underside of the OTR) or 30" clearance between cooking surface and an unprotected surface above. (wood or other flammable material)
What is the transfer of energy from the sun to earths surface?
Because of the heat and light
What describes the circular motion of heat below the earths surface?
I would call this convection currents in the mantle.
By what two methods does geothermal heat get to the earths surface?
Geothermal heat reaches the Earth's surface through conduction, which involves the slow transfer of heat through the Earth's crust, and through convection, where hot molten rock rises towards the surface, bringing heat along with it.
