What pulls objects toward earths surface?
Gravity pulls the earth and anything on its surface together, toward each others' centers.This is important to understand:-- There is a pair of gravitational forces between you and the Earth.-- One force pulls you toward the center of the Earth.The other one pulls the Earth toward the center of you.-- The forces are equal.Your weight on Earth is the same as the Earth's weight on you.
What is the light ray that travels toward a reflective surface?
normal
What is it called when waves bounce from a surface back toward the source?
reflection
Why liquids drops are spherical?
If the drop is small enough, it is a perfect sphere. A sphere is the geometrical shape thathas the smallest surface area for its volume. The drop takes this shape because watermolecules tend to stick to each other. So, when not confined by a container, and withnothing around it to distort its shape, a very tiny water drop is perfectly round like aball because the water molecules are pulling inward toward each other.
When two forces acting on an object are equal they are?
Everything gets pulled down toward the earths center because of this force
Does pressure increase from earths surface toward the center of earth?
Yes.
What is electromagnetic radiation that is just outside the visible range toward lower energy?
Infrared (or radiant heat).
Where does magma form before it moves toward the earths surface?
in the mantle above the slab
Why does heat from earths center flow toward the surface?
it flows because if convection currents
Earths surface winds blow from regions of higher what?
Air pressure toward regions of lower air pressure
Heat from the earths center flows toward the suface because why?
Heat from the Earth rises to the surface because heat rises. Heat rises because it is energy and the atoms are looking for more space to move freely in.
Magma tends to rise toward earths surface?
Yes, magma tends to rise towards the earth's surface. It does so because once melted it becomes less dense.

When you swim what is the force of the water which pushes you toward the surface?
The buoyant force pushes you toward the surface.
What factor increases as you go deeper toward earths core?
Heat
Why does earths surface becomes warmer in summer than it does in the winter?
Only one hemisphere has summer at a time, either the Northern or the Southern, while the other has winter. This is determined by which hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun: except for two days each year (the equinoxes), the Earth's tilt means that one pole or the other is angled more toward the Sun. The tilt results in a combination of longer days than nights (more sunshine) and a lesser angle to the Sun's rays (closer to perpendicular to the surface). Less sunlight is refracted or scattered, and more energy reaches the surface than when the angle is greater.
What causes hot plasticlike rocks in the asthenosphere to rise toward the earths surface?
The rock in a rising convection current is hotter and more buoyant than the surrounding rock, causing it to rise.
