Materials with high specific heat capacities, such as water and certain metals like copper and aluminum, tend to cool slowly because they can absorb and retain heat energy without a significant temperature change. Additionally, materials with low thermal conductivity, like insulating foam or certain ceramics, also cool slowly as they do not easily transfer heat away from their surface. Thus, a combination of high specific heat and low thermal conductivity typically results in slower cooling rates.

Light travels slowest through materials with a higher refractive index, such as glass or diamond. This is because the speed of light in a material is inversely proportional to its refractive index.

A convection current is created when a heated material continually rises, cools and sinks. Plate tectonics are driven by this type of motion,

When rock in the mantle cools, it becomes denser and can sink due to its increased weight compared to surrounding material. This process can lead to convection currents in the mantle, with cooler, denser material sinking and warmer material rising.

Metal.
The circular motion you are referring to is called convection. When warm material rises and cools, it creates a circular flow as it sinks back down to be reheated. This movement is driven by differences in temperature and density within the material.
Granite cools slower than pumice. Granite forms deep underground, allowing it to cool slowly and develop large mineral grains, whereas pumice cools quickly on the Earth's surface due to its volcanic origins, resulting in a fine-grained texture.
sound will travel through air (gas), the slowest. Because the molecules in the air are farther apart. Actually rubber it will travel through rubber the slowest. Air is second slowest. Age: 15 Name: Rachel Thanks for reading! <3
