What causes the transfer of thermal energy during convection?
The movement of matter during convection is what transfers thermal energy.The air or liquid currents help transferring thermal energy through convection as the currents of higher temperature are of less density (lighter) and move upwards while that of less temperature are of higher density (heavier) and move downwards.Convective heat transfer, often referred to simply as convection, is the transfer of heat from one place to another by the movement of fluids (liquids or gases). Convection is usually the dominant form of heat transfer in liquids and gases.
What happens for heat to be transferred by convection?
the liquid or gas must circulate to move the heat.
What must happen for heat to be transfered by convection?
the liquid or gas must circulate to move the heat.
Which heat transfer doesnt need a medium to move through?
Convection.
What is convection transfered through?
Convection is heat transfer by mass motion of a fluid such as air or water when the heated fluid is caused to move away from the source of heat, carrying energy with it.
What force causes warm molten rock to move upward to the mantle?
The force that causes warm molten rock to move upward to the mantle is called convection. Convection happens when parts of the tectonic plate break off and melt.
What process causes the warm air to move upward over the land during the day?
convection
What direction do convection currents move?
Warmer material in a convection current rises upwards.
What direction do convection currents-move?
Convection currents move in upward direction
Heat rising from within earth causes earth's what to move?
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.
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 drives the process of plate teconics?
Mantle convection causes the tectonic plates of the Earth to move slowly. Mantle convection is when heat moves from the mantle to the surface and causes the mantle, and the tectonic plates to move very slowly.
What cause molten rock to move upward in the mantle?
Convection. E2020
Where is a mantle convection current most likely to move upward?
ocean ridge
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.
What causes your plates to move?
convection currents!
What do lithospheric plate movements have to do with convection?
there is convection in the mantle. it causes the plates to move.
