What else can I help you with?
Heat from the earths center flows toward the suface because why?
Heat from the Earth rises to the surface because heat rises. Heat rises because it is energy and the atoms are looking for more space to move freely in.
What is the transfer of energy from the sun to earths surface?
Because of the heat and light
What does water need to begin evaporating?
What needs a heat source to begin evaporating. Normally the sun is the heat source that evaporates water on the earths surface.
What is the distance from earths surface to the center of earth?
That's the Earth's radius. It's about 6378 kilometers at the equator. That's 3963 miles.
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.
Heat from the earths center flows toward the suface because why?
Heat from the Earth rises to the surface because heat rises. Heat rises because it is energy and the atoms are looking for more space to move freely in.
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.
What do you think happens to temperature as you move from the earths surface to the center?
Temperature increases as you move from the Earth's surface towards the center. This is because the Earth's core is extremely hot due to the heat generated from radioactive decay and residual heat from the planet's formation.
Does pressure increase from earths surface toward the center of earth?
Yes.
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
Where do you experience more gravity on earths surface or earths center?
on the surfaceNote:Since the earth's composition is not homogeneous, the gravitational acceleration onthe surface is probably less than what it is some small distance below the surface,but it's certainly greater than at the center.
Why does heat from earths center flow toward the surface?
Heat from Earth's center flows toward the surface through a process called convection, where hot material rises and cooler material sinks. This movement creates a cycle that helps to transfer heat outwards. Over time, this heat transfer leads to the movement of tectonic plates, volcanic activity, and the formation of Earth's crust.
How is heat transferred from the surface of a block of ice to its center?
Heat is transferred from the surface to the center of a block of ice through conduction. As heat is applied to the surface, molecules near the surface gain energy and vibrate faster, passing the energy to neighboring molecules. This process continues, gradually transferring heat towards the center until the entire block reaches equilibrium.
What is the transfer of energy from the sun to earths surface?
Because of the heat and light
What describes the circular motion of heat below the earths surface?
I would call this convection currents in the mantle.
