How does energy from the sun move from the core to the photosphere?
Energy from the core travels by radiation through the radiative zone, then by convection through the convection zone.
When a line of clouds move across the sky it is a example of what?
convection currents
How does the heat produced in the core get to the surface of the sun?
Convection and radiation move the heat from the core of the Sun to its surface.
In which region of the Sun does energy move as waves that transfer from atom to atom photosphere corona core radiative zone chromosphere convective zone?
The portion of the sun in which energy moves from atom to atom in the form of waves is called the?
Does big dipper move through the night sky?
Yes because stars move so they would move through the night sky!!!! If you were to watch a constellation, it would appear to move through the sky but really the Earth's rotation and revolution about the Sun gives the appearance of the stars moving.
The layer in which convection currents move?
Convection currents move in the Mantle.
What is the layer that has convection currents that move the plates?
This layer is the mantle.
Which layer of the earth contains convection currents that move the tectonic plates?
The upper mantle contains convection currents that move the tectonic plates.
What are twotypes of matter that convection olny happens in?
Convection can happen in any state of matter in which the matter is free to move - such as a liquid, a gas, a plasma, a superfluid, a liquid crystal, etc.
Can Heat be transferred through convection?
Yes. Convection currents move hot materials to other places.
How do plates move where convection currents are risig?
The lithosphere is the continental crust, oceanic crust and upper part of the mantle. The convection currents move in the mantle mostly in the Asthenosphere layer under the lithosphere. As the convention currents move it makes the lithosphere spread and shake.
How does energy from the sun move from the core to the photosphere?
Energy from the core travels by radiation through the radiative zone, then by convection through the convection zone.
What makes the plate move?
Plates move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core. The heat causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move.
What interior layer allows the earth's rigid outer shell to move?
The Mantle of the Earth is the thickest layer, and while solid, contains elements that cause it to be pliable and flowing due to extreme heat and pressure. It undergoes motions similar to boiling water, known as convection. Convection of the mantle is expressed at the surface through the motions of tectonic plates.
Which heat transfer doesnt need a medium to move through?
Convection.
What heat transfer occurs in asthenosphere?
It's where the plates of the lithosphere move around on, the plastic like layer of the asthenosphere. the plates move around on these
