Air in the what is warmed by heat from the earths surface?
troposphere
By what two methods does geothermal heat get to the earths surface?
by making babies
What are the positive effects when trying to get geothermal energy?
Geothermal is heat energy obtained from below the earths surface. Once the infrastructure is setup to obtain this energy and convert it for use as heat or electrical energy, getting the energy is practically free.
Current in earths mantle that transfers heat in earths interior?
It's called the convection current.
Why does heat from earths center flow toward the surface?
it flows because if convection currents
What describes the circular motion of heat below the earths surface?
I would call this convection currents in the mantle.
What type of heat transfer called when molten rock below the Earth's surface rises then cools and sinks below the surface again?
Convection.
Air in the what is warmed by heat from the earths surface?
troposphere
What brought molten rock to the surface?
pressure from the heat under the earths surface
Why earths interior is warmer than earths surface?
Earth's surface is free to radiate heat into space. The interior is not. The interior does transfer heat the the surface, but rather slowly. It is hot due to residual heat from Earth's formation and from the heat generated by the decay of radioactive elements.
What energy source of heat that is generated below the earths surface?
Most of this energy is released during the decay of radioactive isotopes. To a lesser extent, this is residual heat, from the formation of Earth - gradually released as Earth's interior solidifies.
How is heat from earths interior transferred to earths surface by convections?
Beneath the surface of the earth temperature remains the same. Within the Earth, irregular convection cells within the mantle transfer heat from the core to the surface of the planet. Volcanoes and earthquakes are two examples of heat transferring from the interior to the surface.
Hoe does air circulate around earths surface?
Heat from the sun
By what two methods does geothermal heat get to the earths surface?
by making babies
What is the intense heat beneath earths surface can be a source of?
radiation & gravity
The earths surface transfers heat to the atmosphere primarily by?
the answer is radiation
What three processes transfer heat over earths surface?
Convection, radiation, and conduction
