Best Answer

heat is the cause in the increase in thermal energy. the sun also causes it one the earth, because the heat from the sun projects light in a beam onto the earth and heats up the earth.

Thermal energy added to a substance that is not changing state causes the substances temperature to do what?

To increase.


How Does Thermal Energy Cause Change?

An increase in thermal energy gives particles more kinetic energy, which causes them to vibrate more. As they vibrate more, the volume they take up increases.


How does an increase in total energy of the particles in a substance affect the thermal energy of the substance?

How does an increase in the total energy of the particles in a substance affect the thermal energy of the substance.


How do conduction convection and radiation causes thermal energy?

None of those processes causes or produces thermal energy. Each of them moves thermal energy from one place to another.


Can thermal energy be added without an increase in temperature?

No, thermal energy is entirely energy added for heat.


How does change in thermal energy causes matter to change from one state to another?

An increase in thermal energy may change a solid to a liquid, a liquid to a gas, or a solid to a gas.A decrease in thermal energy may cause a change in the opposite direction - for example, from a liquid to a solid.


Does heat increase or decrease thermal energy?

increase


What is thermal energy used for?

Thermal energy is the moment of atoms and molecules in a substance that causes heat.


How are thermal energy and temperature alike?

If you increase temperature you increase thermal energy.If you double the amount you have the temperature does not change but the thermal energy does.Temperature and thermal energy are the same since they both use kinetic energy. Temperature uses the thermal energy when the heat measures the average of the kinetic energy. The thermal energy uses the kinetic energy, when it's averged together with the kinetic enery and the others to make the thermal energy.==========================Answer #2:Wow !Temperature is to thermal energy as depth is to water.


When does thermal energy increase?

when it gets hotter


Why does a substance's temperature increase when it receives more thermal energy?

Temperature is a measure of the concentration of thermal energy.


Which energy increases as temperature increases?

The thermal energy.The thermal energy.The thermal energy.The thermal energy.
