As depth within earths interior increases?
The density increases
As depth within earths interior increases what happens to density?
The density increases
What is outgassing in earth science?
Outgassing is the release of trapped gases from within the earths interior to the earths atmosphere. It also includes outgassing at the smaller scale, such as the mostly porous pumice.
How is the theory of plate tectonics related to the radioactive decay of elements within earths interior?
As elements decay within the Earth's interior, they release energy. This energy creates movement within the magma (along with the rotation of the Earth and heat) and this movement causes the plates of the Earth to move, hence the geography of the planet is different to thousands and millions of years ago.
What drives convection within earths atmosphere?
Uneven heating of the Earths atmosphere and oceans by the sun
As depth within earths interior increases?
The density increases

What is directly linked to heat convection within earths interior?
Tectonic Plate Movement
What is most directly linked to heat convection within Earths interior?
tectonic plate motion
What is most directly linked to heat convection within Earths's interior?
tectonic plate motion
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.

Where you the earths mantle located?
The mantle lies between the crust and the outer core of Earth's interior, and is not within the crust.
Which of the following causes an increase in the kinetic energy of atoms within an element and an increase in the kinetic energy of molecules or ions within a compound?
heat.
How intrusive igneous form?
An intrusive igneous rock is formed by the gradual cooling, solidification, and crystallization of magma within the earths crust/interior.
What does the large crystals show about the rock formation?
It shows that the rock is a plutonic rock and was formed as a result of slow cooling within the earths crust/interior.
Does convection currents produce the heat in the Earths interior?
Convection currents are agents of heat transfer within Earth's interior. And could also serve as mechnism for heat generation in the earth crust.
