How does temperature affect the direction of heat movement .?
Heat always moves from the warmer object to the colder object.
Why cant convection happen in solids?
Convection is the transfer of heat via the movement of warmer material nearest a source of heat toward colder regions, while colder material moves toward the heat source. Usually, the warmer material moves upward from the heat source (since "heat rises") and then is pushed outward toward colder regions, setting up a circulating current that pushes the colder material sinks downward and toward the heat source. Unlike conduction (where heat is transferred by direct contact with the heat source) or radiation (where the heat source sends out waves of heat), convection requires a circulating "current" -- where material moves or flows within a fluid, such as a liquid or gas. This flow is not possible within a solid -- where the material inside cannot move from place to place. Convection cannot occur in a vacuum, either, since there is no material to flow from one place to another.
Why do particles of matter transfer thermal energy from hot to cold?
A heat pump is a machine or device that moves heat from one location (the 'source') to another location, using mechanical work. Most heat pump technology moves heat from a low temperature heat source to a higher temperature heat sink.
How heat moves from where to where?
Heat moves from hot to cool(er), How it moves depends on the local conditions.
What direction does heat trasfer?
Heat moves from a Hot surface to a cold surface in an atempt to acheive thermal equilibrium. This is true in most energy transfers High energy ALWAYS transfers to lower energy.
What is the direction heat always moves in?
it moves hot to cold.
What is the source of heat that lies in the Earth?
the inner core
What is the source of heat in the Earths interior?
the inner core
Do Heat moves from this source by convection and radiation?
Firepacem
What direction heat move?
First of all, heat is thermal energy formed by molecules moving. Heat moves in any direction where it is colder, then balances out the temperature.

What is the ultimate source of heat that moves the plates?
the earths core .
What is the main source of heat in earth's inner core?
The heat in the inner core is the result of several different sources. Some of these are: residual heat from the creation of the planet; heat caused by nuclear decay; friction; magnetic and tidal effects.

How is heat transfer in the earths mantle related to the movement of the earths crust?
The heat transfer is moved to the crust. The earth's crust moves to the inner core
How is energy source used?
Nuclear energy is used as a source of heat. The heat from the reactor is used to heat up water and the steam moves a turbine that generates electricity. It's the same principal with a coal power plant, only the source of heat is different.
