When you take a hot apple pie out of the oven the crust and top eventually cools. What might have cooled the earths surface?
Well what cools it is the atmosphere and the air that we breathe from. The earth's crust is very rocky and it also could be smooth, so when it rains or snows of course the earths land is cold. It is also just like how the matter rises from the center and goes to the top then the matter packs in and then it drops then rises again then comes back up. These are called convection currents.
