What causes atmospheric air to be rapidly heated?
In the atmosphere, warm surfaces can heat the air above them. High pressure in the atmosphere is what causes the air to rapidly heat.
What causes earth's surface to heat?
The sun ray's are most responsible for Earth's surface temperature.
What causes earth's seasons?
The way heat energy reflects off of Earth because of the angle at which it hits
What is the causes of the wind system on earth?
The heat from the Sun falling on the earth, heating the tropics more than the poles and the rotation of the Earth on its axis.
What process causes gases in the atmosphere to trap heat the surface of earth?
greenhouse effect
What causes atmospheric air to be rapidly heated?
In the atmosphere, warm surfaces can heat the air above them. High pressure in the atmosphere is what causes the air to rapidly heat.
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 causes convection currents it the mantle?
Heat from the core and the mantle itself causes convection currents in earth's mantle.
When plates of earth's crust move and then rapidly release occur?
It causes earthquakes.
Where does magma get its heat from and how is it maintained?
The shifting of tectonic plates causes extreme friction, thus heat. The heat is only maintained as long as the magma remains under high pressure. Ounce it's released, it begins to lose heat rapidly.
What causes heat in center of earth?
Radioactive Decay
What effect does the heat that causes convection in the earth come from?
Friction
What causes volcanic activities in the world?
Heat from the Earth's core.
What causes an increase in thermal energy?
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.
What does the sun's heat do to planet earth?
The sun heats the earth with radiation. This heat is necessary for earth to sustain life. Also, uneven heating of the earth's surface causes wind.
What causes earth's surface to heat?
The sun ray's are most responsible for Earth's surface temperature.
What causes the streak of light observed when a meteoriod enters Earth's atmosphere?
The friction with the Earth's atmosphere causes a meteor to heat up and burn.
