A thermal burn is an area of tissue damaged by extreme temperature (either hot or cold). Examples of this would include the traditional burns - fire, hot stove, sun, etc. You can also get thermal burns from cold, such as dry ice.

What can cause a chemical burn?
Heat causes thermal burns. Contact with Flames, hot objects, hot liquids, hot gases, or the fireball from an explosion will result in a thermal burn.
What can casuse a thermal burn?
heat causes a thermal burn
Is thermal Pisces better than burn fireblaze?
burn fireblaze is better than thermal pieces
What is a thermal burn?
A burn caused by a heat source
What is the first goal of a thermal burn treatment?
The first act of thermal burn treatment is to stop the burning process.
What can casue a thermal burn?
Heat
What type of burn is caused by napalm thermite or magnesium?
Thermal Burn
What is consistent with a thermal effect?
Superficial burn
If you slide a crate across the floor kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy as it comes to rest. Why will adding thermal energy to a stationary crate not cause it to move?
# cos nothing is converting it to kinetic energy # if you add enough thermal energy the box will burn and "move" :)
Treatment for thermal burn?
This may be accomplished by letting cool water run over the burned area or by soaking it in cool (not cold) water. Ice should never be applied to the burn.
What can cause a a thermal burn?
Heat from radiation or conduction (contact). The "burn" from very cold substances is not actually a burn, but has some of the same characteristics. Freezing temperatures (such as dry ice) will rupture cells in the same way that burns do, but by forming ice crystals instead of steam. Tissue damage and necrosis can progress in a similar manner from both injuries. One major difference is that there is no heat oxidation (charring) in ice burns.
How does thermal energy cause substances to undergo chemical change how does thermal energy cause substances to undergo chemical change?
Thermal energy cause thermal decomposition of a compound; the bonds between atoms are weakened.
