What causes the ground to shimmer on a hot day?
The shimmer is caused by the waves of heat rising from the road surface.
What is the ultimate source of energy that drives the process in the rock cycle when hot material rising in the Earth generates uplift which in turn promotes erosion?
Radioactive heat
Are magma form on the earth surface or in the interior?
Magma is the hot semi-fluid material (lava) that emerges from volcanoes, and is just below the crust, being part of the mantle.
What nuclear process usually occurs in geothermal energy?
There is no nuclear process involved, geothermal energy comes from hot material near the earth's surface. It is related to volcanic activity.
What is a dust devil?
A dust devil is a type of whirlwind, that forms from hot air near the surface rising quickly through a small pocket of cooler. air above it. They look somewhat like tornadoes but are generally weaker.
What is the process that makes hot material rise to sun's surface?
cause im hot
What is hot liquid material below the surface of the earth?
Magma .
Why do scientists think that magma rises to earths surface?
well, it does. haven't you ever heard of hot lava? that's magma rising from the surface.
What causes the ground to shimmer on a hot day?
The shimmer is caused by the waves of heat rising from the road surface.
Does convection involves cool gas rising toward the solar surface and hot gas sinking into the interior?
yes it does.
What is it called when hot material rises to the sun's surface?
it is called the art of materilintasion which was discovered by the neanderthals
The Sun's surface seethes and churns with a bubbling pattern Why?
It is because you are seeing hot gas rising and cool gas falling due to the convection that occurs beneath the surface of the sun.
Are hot spots stationary?
Yes; hot spots are huge columns of hot mantle material rising from a great depth. New volcanoes form and old volcanoes become extinct as plates move over the hot spots.
What is molten rock material that flows over the earths surface?
The molten rock material that flows over the earth's surface is known as magma. This is what will be emitted from a volcanic eruption.
What is the process by which hot material from deep within the earth rises while cooler material by the surface sinks?
this is due to tectonic plates that means movement of plates
What may form in an intraplate area over a rising plume of hot mantle material?
A volcano. See the excellent book "Krakatoa" by Simon Winchester.
