A heating mantle is the best way to heat a liquid in a round bottom flask. The heating mantle can be either rigid or soft, but heats the flask by heating an electric coil which surrounds the round bottom flask. Heating mantles come in different sizes to best match the size of the found bottom flask for a snug fit around the entire bottom of the flask. They are commonly used in distillations and other heated reactions.
A heating mantle if much better than a hot plate because the heating mantle makes contact with the entire bottom surface of a round bottom flask. It is also much better than a Bunsen burner for heating flammable liquids.

What causes mantle dynamics?
The mantle is the Earth's crust. Mantle dynamics are caused by the heating and cooling of this layer of crust. This heating and cooling causes a slow creeping motion in the Earth's rocky mantle.
What creates the currents in the mantle of the earth?
they are convection currents, caused by the heating effect of the earths core
Solar water heating?
Sun heating water, normally for domestic use,
What are seismic map use for?
the Earth's core and mantle.
Is a solar heating system that does not use fans or electrical devices an active solar heating system?
true
What causes mantle dynamics?

What is used to describe the continuous heating and cooling of magma in the mantle?
Mantle convection
What is the source of heating in the mantle?
Source of heat in mantle come from radioactive decay of the radioactive elements inside the earth..
What part of the earths mantle that flows and moves the plates of the earth?
Mantle plumes are in the mantle, BELOW the Earth's crust. The circulation of heat from the lower mantle to the upper mantle can cause "hot spots" in the overlying crust, heating the magma in the areas.
What are tectonic plates referring to?
The plates of crustal rock floating on the mantle rockand being moved by the flow of mantle rock in convection cells driven by the heating of radioactive decay deep in the core and lower mantle.
Convection currents in Earths mantle are believed to be responsible for?
Earth's Plates
What creates the currents in the mantle of the earth?
they are convection currents, caused by the heating effect of the earths core
How do you use mantle in a sentence?
He set the antique clock on the mantle.
What causes thinning in the earths crust?
Thinning of the Earth's crust is caused by the Earth's mantle heating up and expanding. As the mantle expands, large areas of the crust fall in, where they are melted.
Source of heat in the mantle?
internal heating due to the decay of the radioactive isotopes of uranium, thorium, and potassium
How can you use mantle in a sentence?
A mantle of darkness spread over the Earth
What in earths mantle causes tectonic plates to move?
Convection currents in the mantle are what causes tectonic plates to move. Uneven heating of the mantle results from radioactive decay of some long-lived isotopes in the mantle, which are not evenly distributed.
