On Earth, heat travels by

radiation, convection,

and conduction.

On Earth on a sunny day,

the heat radiating from

the Sun warms the

molecules of the

atmosphere, and they

warm other molecules

and they warm others in

turn. That conduction is

what keeps the Earth

warm at night when we

aren't receiving direct

Sun rays. It also means

that even when we are

standing in shadow, the

air around us has some

warmth. On Earth, heat

also travels in large

density-driven

convection loops that

spread out the warmth.

At height Air has low

pressure so temprature

is LOW.

How did Mt Everest get so big?

Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world, formed due to the collision of the Indian and Eurasian tectonic plates. This collision caused the Earth's crust to fold and uplift, creating the massive Himalayan mountain range. Over millions of years, the forces of erosion and weathering have continued to shape and sculpt Mount Everest into its current majestic form.


Why is Mt Everest so big?

Mount Everest is the world's tallest mountain due to tectonic plate collision between the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate, resulting in the Himalayan mountain range. The mountain continues to grow each year due to tectonic activity, making it the tallest peak currently at 29,032 feet (8,848 meters) above sea level.


Why is Mt Everest so tall?

Mount Everest is so tall because it was formed through the collision of tectonic plates, specifically the Indian plate pushing against the Eurasian plate. This process caused the earth's crust to buckle and fold, resulting in the Himalayan mountain range where Mount Everest is located. Its height, reaching 29,032 feet (8,849 meters) above sea level, is the result of millions of years of tectonic activity and erosion shaping the landscape.


What is Saturn's temperature range and high and low?

What is the universes tallest mountain?

Olympus Mons is the highest mountain in the Solar System. But Mount Ultra, The XZ Majoris Ceiphei's highest mountain, is 4,300 miles high. That is bigger than Mars, the planet that has Olympus Mons on it, which means that Mount Ultra is around 100 times bigger than Olympus Mons. So indeed Mount Ultra is the highest mountain in the Universe. Winner: Mount Ultra
