ocean currents
Convection cells in Earth's atmosphere move heat from the equator towards the poles and then back towards the equator. These cells help redistribute heat and maintain global temperature equilibrium.
Heat rising from within the Earth causes the Earth's tectonic plates to move. The constant rising and sinking of heat are called convection currents.
Solar heat is distributed around earth by conduction.
i know it has 13 letters ...tried to help! sorry
The Earth's heat engine refers to the process of heat transfer within the planet that drives geological phenomena such as plate tectonics and volcanic activity. This heat is generated from the decay of radioactive elements in the Earth's core, resulting in convection currents that move material around the Earth's interior. Heat from the Earth's core is also responsible for the magnetic field that surrounds the planet.
The sun does not move around the earth.
Large streams of surface seawater that move heat around the Earth are known as ocean currents. These currents are driven by factors such as wind patterns, the Earth's rotation, and differences in water density. They play a crucial role in regulating the planet's climate by distributing heat from the equator toward the poles. Notable examples include the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic Ocean and the Kuroshio Current in the Pacific Ocean.
To a degree, heat inside the earth causes earthquakes. The rock of Earth's mantle is softened by the extreme heat inside Earth, allowing sections of Earth's crust to move around. Differences in temperature create convection currents which cause that movement.
Earth itself moves around the Sun.
Plates move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core. The heat causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move.
As you move closer to the Earth's inner core, the temperature increases. This is because the inner core is surrounded by layers of molten metal and rock, which generate heat through radioactive decay and residual heat from Earth's formation. The temperature at the Earth's inner core can reach up to around 5700°C (10,300°F).
