Why does magma deep underground stay liquid longer than lava on the surface?
Magma is heated to its molten state via heat from the Earth's core and that heat is held in by the earths crust. Once on the surface there is nothing to keep it molten and is it cooled by the outside air.
How is earths air heated?
Well, the sun gives off energy (or heat). When it hits the Earth's atmosphere, it absorbs that heat or energy. the energy is then trapped in the atmosphere. This is called the "green house effect."
Difference between radiation and convection?
Radiation is when heat is transferred from one thing to another via electromagnetic waves like infrared. It can travel through a vacuum. Convection is when a fluid is heated from the bottom and rises, leaving colder fluid behind to be heated etc creating currents. The thing you are trying to heat has to be in contact with the heat source- it doesn't work through a vacuum.
What form when a spring is geothermally heated to the point that the water bursts through the surface in an upward stream of water and water vapor?
geyser
Is splash erosion more powerful than gully rill and wave erosion?
When the sun heated the soil surface and soil does not have any water. when rain drops hit the surface of soil it cause the soil eroded.
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."
When earths surface is heated it radiates most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation?
Not as ultraviolet; the radiation is emitted as infrared radiation.
If Earths surface is heated does it radiate most of the energy back into the atmosphere as ultraviolet radiation?
No. It radiates most energy back as infarred radiation.
How is earth's surface heated by the sun?
it is heated by conduction by the earths atmosphere
What layer of the atmosphere is heated by the earths surface?
trophosphere
What do you call the Evaporation of electrons from heated surface?
radiation
What is what is the earths atmosphere heated by?
The trapping of heat by the Earth's atmosphere is called the greenhouse effect. During the greenhouse effect, radiation becomes entrapped which results in the heating of the Earth.
What is it called when the earth is heated by the sun?
