Through convection. Since a hot object rises over a cold object (assuming they are the same object), the plastic rock in the mantle allows vents to bring up heat from deep within.

Which type of light energy found in solar radation is most likely to reach the earths surface?

visible light


Would more of the sun's energy reach a particular part of earths surface on a sunny day or on a cloudy day and why?

More of the sun's energy would reach a particular part of Earth's surface on a sunny day compared to a cloudy day. Clouds act as a barrier, reflecting and absorbing some of the sunlight, reducing the amount that reaches the surface. On a sunny day, there are fewer obstacles for the sunlight to pass through, allowing more energy to reach the surface.


Can a bullet reach the earths atmoshpere?

No, a bullet cannot reach the Earth's atmosphere because it is already on Earth's surface. Bullets are fired from guns on the ground and do not have the velocity or trajectory to escape the planet's gravitational pull and reach space.


What is solar wave how much height it reaches?

I don't recognise your terms 'solar wave' and 'height'. Solar energy is emitted from the sun and reaches earth as radiation in the visible, ultraviolet, and infrared bands. the totoal falling on 1 square meter of earths surface (on average) is 230 watts.


Where does the greatest amount of solar energy reach the surface of the ocean?

The greatest amount of solar energy reaches the surface of the ocean near the equator. This is because the sun's rays are more direct at the equator, resulting in higher solar intensity. Additionally, the equatorial regions generally experience less cloud cover, allowing more sunlight to reach the surface of the ocean.

How does geothermal energy reach earth's surface?

volcanoes are the main source geothermal energy is not used that much today because the cost of getting the lava from the volcano but also cracks in earths plate boundaries can produce geothermal energy because magma comes out of the earths mantle


What does the city have to do to switch from their energy to geothermal energy?

You have to have a source of geothermal energy within reach, which not many cities have.


How hard is it to get geothermal energy?

Obtaining geothermal energy can be challenging due to the drilling depth required to reach hot rocks or reservoirs beneath the Earth's surface, as well as the cost associated with drilling and installation of geothermal systems. However, once a geothermal system is in place, it can provide a reliable and renewable source of energy with minimal environmental impact.


Would more of the suns energy reach the earths surface on a sunny day or a cloudy day?

More energy will reach the surface on a sunny day. Clouds reflect about half of the light that hits them, and this energy goes back into space.


Which type of light energy found in solar radation is most likely to reach the earths surface?

Where does geothemal come from?

Geothermal energy comes from heat stored beneath the Earth's surface in the form of hot water and steam. This heat is produced by the natural radioactive decay of minerals deep within the Earth. Geothermal sources are typically found in areas where this heat can more easily reach the surface, such as near tectonic plate boundaries.


How and where is geothermal energy generated?

Geothermal energy continually flows outward from within the earth. This heat energy comes mostly from the core, where temperature may reach 7000°C. The earth's crust is 5 to 75 km thick, and the heat can be used as an energy source where it is available near the surface because there is a thin crust or a fracture zone.


Which wave type is formed when the wave reach the earths surface?

L waves are formed when P&S waves reach the surface.

How the natural world is affected by the energy?

by cutting down land and trees to dig holes in earth to reach the geothermal energy


What ways are resources brought up from under Earth's surface?

Resources are typically brought up from under Earth's surface through processes like drilling, mining, and extraction. Drilling involves creating a borehole to reach oil or gas deposits, mining involves excavating minerals from the ground, and extraction involves pumping out fluids such as water or geothermal energy.


Is it true that only three or four meteorites reach earths surface each year?

No it is not true. Many, many meteorites reach the earth's surface.
