Why is the ocean cold?
The ocean is cold because water has a high specific heat capacity, meaning it takes a lot of energy to heat up or cool down. Additionally, the ocean's depth and currents play a role in distributing heat unevenly, resulting in colder temperatures in certain areas.
How does heat in the mantle and outer core move?
It flows in a convection current the occurs because particles with a lot of heat energy in a liquid or gas move and take the place of particles with less heat energy. Heat energy is transferred from hot places to cooler places by convection. or in other words the Earth's crust, convection means that the liquid magma on which the crust "floats" is moving in a circular fashion, rising from higher depths closer to the crust. When it reaches the crust it changes direction and flows underneath the crust, making it move.
Why is the ocean so cold?
The ocean is cold because water has a high specific heat capacity, meaning it takes a lot of energy to change its temperature. Additionally, the ocean's depth and currents play a role in distributing heat unevenly, resulting in colder temperatures in certain areas.
How does this geothermal energy get its power?
Geothermal energy is derived from energy in the Earth's crust. In places where there is a lot of underground heat very close to the surface, it can be removed and simply used. In places where this cannot be done, it can be drawn out with heat pumps. The heat in the Earth can come from either of two sources. One is the internal heat of the parts of the Earth below the crust, and the other is the sun. The heat of the core of the Earth is partly residual heat from the formation of the Earth, and partly from radioactive decay of materials in the Earth.
Why do metamorphic rocks often form deep under the surface of the earth?
Metamorphic rocks form deep under the Earth's surface because the high pressures and temperatures required for the transformation of existing rocks into metamorphic rocks are typically found at greater depths. These conditions are usually created by tectonic forces or by the burial of rocks under layers of sediment.
How do currents work?
currents are effected by a lot of things one of them is the moon. The moons gravitational pulls the waves towards it causing waves to move
When water evaporates from a surface what does it remove a lot of?
Evaporation absorb heat.
When water evaporates from surface it removes a lot of?
Evaporation absorb heat.
Why don't iguanas move a lot?
because Iguanas need to save energy and heat, and they do that by not moving a lot. they need the energy when they do have to move.
Do dark or light surfaces attarct and absorb heat easier?
A dark surface will absorb the heat from sunlight. While a white surface will reflect a lot of the sunlight and remain cooler.
If the mantle and the core are extremely hot why is the heat coming from these layers not felt on the earths surface?
Rock is a very poor conductor of heat and there is quite a lot of it between the surface and the mantle. As a result heat conducts to the surface very slowly and quickly radiates into space. As a result the vast majority of heat at Earth's surface comes from the sun. The heat from the mantle is felt at erupting volcanoes where magma, which ultimately gets it heat from the mantle, reaches the surface.
What happens if there is not a lot of friction?
Then what ever is trying to move or is moving will more smoother and maybe faster over the surface.

Relationship between high specific heat and surface tension?
When water is heated, that energy can be given to the hydrogen bonds, keeping the water cool. So, water has a high specific heat because it takes a lot of energy to heat it up. Surface tension is a result of hydrogen bonds holding the surface molecules together tightly. So the relationship between water's high specific heat and surface tension is that hydrogen bonds are responsible for both of them. If hydrogen didn't have these bonds, water's specific heat would be normal, and its surface tension negligable.
What are the two ocean currents?
Gyre and the Atlantic current and that's all I know but there are a lot of currents around the world
Why is it important that the atmosphere allows some of the heat to release in to space?
Because it has a lot of gas to play with. So all the heat doesn't stay within the atmosphere and fry everything on the surface.
