Heat convection does not occur in solids because?
Because the atoms do not move around. The whole idea of convection is that 'groups' of things move about. In the case of heat convection these moving groups take or bring their heat with them.
How long does it take the magma to complete the circular convection flow?
About 50 minutes.
How long do it take plates to move in 1 year?
they move about 2 cm per year
Where does heat transfer by convection currents take place in the earths interior?
Most convection currents exist in the mantle, the layer below the Earth's crust. As the semi-molten rock heats up, it rises closer to the surface, and it sinks as it cools. This is how plate tectonics works, as the crust's plates move on these currents.
How long does it take a photon to go 1 cm?
Light travels 300 000km/s. That is 3x1010cm/s. So it takes 3,(3)x10-11 seconds or if you prefer, 0.0000000000(3)s.
How long does it take for energy to get from the core to the surface of the sun?
A photon of light takes about a million years to escape from the Sun. This is because, as the photon makes a random move, it will hit another photon, and move off in another direction. Because of the density, and the amount of other photons, it can take this amount of time to reach the surface of the Sun. Once free of the Sun, the photon is unaffected and can "stream" out at the speed of light to wherever it wants to go.

Why does convection take place in the atmosphere?
Convection take place because of convection currents
How long does it take the magma to complete the circular convection flow?
About 50 minutes.
What materials does thermal transfer by convection take place in?
Convection
Convection cannot take place in a solid because the particles can only vibrate and not move from one place to another?
Sure there can be conduction, but quite often, most of the heat will be transposrted by convection, not conduction.
How long does it take to move into a house?
month
Why does energy take so long to reach the surface of the sun?
Photons keep getting absorbed by other particle and then released in a completely random direction. This make the photon take a long time to finally pop out of the sun.
When does convection take place?
convection takas place wen iron piece is heated
Where in the earth do convection currents occur?
Convection currents take place in the mantle.
Is it normal for a baby to take long to move?
yes
Which layer of the earth does convection take place in?
convection takes place in the outer core......... i think
