What is the intense heat beneath earths surface can be a source of?
radiation & gravity
Is Air from the thermosphere Warmed by heat from earth surface?
Only partially, by warm winds. Mainly radiation from our Sun gives us heat.
Do the earthquakes appear to occur all over earths surface or only in isolated regions?
Earthquakes occur all over earths surface because isolated regions are ice and for example California is not ice it is heat
If the mantle and the core are extremely hot why is the heat coming from these layers not felt on the earths surface?
Rock is a very poor conductor of heat and there is quite a lot of it between the surface and the mantle. As a result heat conducts to the surface very slowly and quickly radiates into space. As a result the vast majority of heat at Earth's surface comes from the sun. The heat from the mantle is felt at erupting volcanoes where magma, which ultimately gets it heat from the mantle, reaches the surface.
How does heat move from inside earth to earths surface?
well hot goes up and cold goes down
Air in the what is warmed by heat from the earths surface?
troposphere
What heats earths atmosphere?
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
How is earth atmosphere warmed evenly?
Energy is transferred between the earths surface and the atmosphere via conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transmitted through contact with neighboring molecules.
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.
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
What is the transfer of energy from the sun to earths surface?
Because of the heat and light
