Heat will flow from the body with the highest temperature to the lowest temperature body until the temperatures are the same.

When friction occurs?
Friction occurs when two material bodies in contact slide past one another.
Does heat transfer with the same temperature?
No. When two bodies or regions are at the same temperature, equilibrium is already reached & no transfer of heat occurs.
What occurs during temperature inversion?
A temperature inversion occurs when air temperature at the upper layer are much warmer than the lower layer of air..
What occurs if two objects of different temperatures touch?
If the contact is good, then energy (heat) will pass from the object at a higher temperature to the one at a lower temperature until the temperatures of the two bodies are equal. This precludes cases such as a burning match stick touching a flammable object and such
How does friction occur?
When surfaces opposing movement on each other.
What are the reasons that exfoliation of granite occurs?
Exfoliation of bodies of granite rock can occur from chemical weathering of the surface, differences in temperature, salt crystallization, and release of pressure.
What bodies of water makes evaporation occurs?
Water is evaporated from all bodies of water.
How does contact metamorphism relate to plate tectonics?
Convergent plate boundary, because it is associated with plutonism. It is the result of the temperature increase from the intrusion into the surrounding country rock.

The kind of metamorphism that occurs when rock come into contact with a heat source such as magma and the rock surrounding the heat source get cooked?
It is called contact metamorphism. It takes place when the magma at high temperature tries to break out from the magma chamber, it then comes into contact with the country rock at high pressure and temperature.
What type of metamorphism contact or regional would result in a schist explain your choice?
Regional. Contact metamorphism is high temperature-low pressure so no mineral alignment occurs, only new mineral growth.
Which occurs if two object at different temperatures are in contact?
conduction occurs...
Boiling only occurs at what particular temperature?
It occurs at 212 degrees.
