That statement is false. The heat from the sun does NOT
reach the Earth through convection.
This is a false statement because the moon revolves around the earth.
False. Every object attracts every other object, through the gravitational force.
False. The sun is not considered part of the Earth, as it is a separate celestial body that our planet orbits around. The Earth is a planet that revolves around the sun.
False. All objects with mass exert gravitational forces on each other, not just the Earth.
True. The Earth system is powered by energy from the sun, which drives processes such as climate, weather, and the water cycle. The Earth's interior also provides some energy through geothermal processes, but the majority of energy comes from the sun.
False. The heat from the Sun reaches Earth through radiation, not convection. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids like air and water, while radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.
No. Convection currents which could lead to volcanism in the crust occur in the mantle. The crust is too cold and brittle for convection currents to occur.
False. Mountains that begin when molten material reaches Earth's surface and then cools and solidifies are known as volcanic mountains. Fault-blocked mountains are formed when tectonic forces cause the Earth's crust to be uplifted and tilted along faults.
True. The outer core of the Earth is a layer of liquid iron and nickel that surrounds the solid inner core. It is responsible for generating Earth's magnetic field through convection currents.
Yes
False. Usually the Moon passes north or south of Earth's shadow.
The heat in the Earth's interior comes from two main sources: the radiogenic heat produced by the radioactive decay of isotopes in the mantle and crust and the primordial heat left over from the formation of the Earth.
False.
Convection currents transfer heat from Earth's core to the mantle, causing the mantle material to flow and create movement in the lithosphere. This movement generates heat due to friction and pressure. So, convection currents help distribute heat within Earth's interior rather than produce it.

Oh, dude, false! Energy in fluids is mostly transferred through convection, where the hot fluid rises and the cooler fluid sinks. Radiation is more like when the sun heats up your face at the beach, not so much what's going on in your morning coffee. So, yeah, it's all about that convection, not the radiation.
False.
