By what two methods does geothermal heat get to the earths surface?
by making babies
What can happen if there are a large temperature difference between two nearby air masses?
Heat is transferred from one object to the other.
What are the methods of heat transfer?
convection, conduction and radiation
What two things increase with depth beneath the surface of earth?
Heat & pressure.
What are two ways the movement of earths plates changes the earths surface?
Its Tectonic Activity
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.
How is heat transferred between two objects that are not touching?
Radiation
In order for heat to be transferred between two objects by conduction?
Two objects must be touching and it has to transfer heat
Is energy only transferred by heating if there is no temperature difference?
Heat can only be transferred if there IS a temperature difference. (If two objects have the same temperature, nothing will happen).
When two objects are in contact what is heat best transferred by?
Conduction
By what two methods does geothermal heat get to the earths surface?
by making babies
What are the two source of heat in the earths interior?
sunlight and meteor impacts
How is heat energy transferred from one object or source to the other?
Heat is transferred in three ways - radiation, conduction and convection. Radiation is caused by the movement of heat waves. Conduction is when heat is transferred by direct contact between two items. Convection is when there are differences in temperature and density causing the movement of molecules.
What is the main source of the earths interior heat?
the mantle plume There are two source of heat in the earth's interior. The main two sources are fire and breathing heat.
When two objects are in direct contact the heat is transfered by?
Heat will be transferred by conduction from the warmer surface to the colder one.
What two things cause the seasons to change on earth?
There are two things that cause it which are the earths orbit and thetilt of the earths axis.
What two things deep beneath the earth's surface can change any rock into a metamorphic rock?
heat and pressure in the earths crust with little if any chemical change.
