Why do the inside of pop tarts get hot while the crust stay cool?

If you heated them in a microwave, the moist inside heats much faster than the drier crust does. The inside can get very hot while they are still not too hot to the touch on the outside.

What is the part of the earth that contains the mountain and valleys?
The lithosphere, i am suggesting, it's otherwise known as "crust". Crust is the top layer of Earth. Everything beneath it is hot, unlike the crust, the crust is cool making it the temperature for our feet not to burn.
Why havent people seen layers of earth below the crust?
Becuase this is a cool day
What symbols and elements are not found in the crust and mantle?
what do you meen christmas is cool with santa brock j
What would happen if there's no earth's crust?
the earth would be incomplete If you were to remove the Earth's crust, you would expose the layer underneath, with is the mantle. The mantle is composed of hot, liquid rock called magma. However, if the magma were to be exposed by the removal of the crust, it would just form another crust. The surface would cool, by radiating energy into space.
Why is the oldest rock at the bottom of the ocean?
The oldest rock is found in the continental crust. The youngest rock is found in the oceanic crust. This is because the ocean floor is recycled every 160 million years or so in the process of plate tectonics.
Why is the Earth's crust solid and cool?
its solid and cool because the outside cools faster than the inside
Write the difference between extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks?
igneous Extrusive is cool on the outside of the crust and cools quickly before crystal forms igneous Intrusive is cool on the inside of the crust and cools slowly and allowing crystal to form
How does seafloor spreading results in new oceanic crust?
As the seafloor spreads apart, magma from the mantle inside the earth bubbles up to the ocean and hardens in the cool temperatures, producing new oceanic crust
What rocks form when magma cools inside the crust?
When magma cools inside the crust, intrusive igneous rocks are formed. These rocks will have larger crystal fragments or pores as an effect of their slow rate of cooling. The rocks will cool slower underneath the crust due to pressure and heat, rather than on the crust. An example of an intrusive igneous rock is granite. When rocks cool on or above the crust they are called extrusive igneous rocks. An example of an extrusive igneous rock is basalt. Granite and basalt are good examples of the comparison between intrusive and extrusive igneous rock because of their significant difference in crystal or fragment sizes. While granite has larger crystals, basalt barely has any at all.Michael Sacco
What is intrusive?
Intrusive activity is when magma in the mantle or crust starts to cool and crystallize. Igneous rock forms from the crystallization.
What are Igneous rocks that cool quickly beneath Earth's crust called?
Igneous rocks that cool quickly beneath earth's crust are known as intrusive rocks. These rocks will form from magma which will cool and solidify quickly.
How might gneiss change into an igneous rock?
It would have to be melted into the earths magma and cool down as either intrusive (inside the earth) or extrusive (on the Earth's crust) igneous rock.

Is the lithospere located in the crust?
The lithosphere includes the crust and the very top of the mantle. The lithosphere is cool and brittle.
What is one cool fact about earth's crust?
the temperture varies
Why doesn't water cool the lava?
Water does cool lava, but not instantly. For one thing, lava is a poor conductor of heat, so when lava erupts underwater the outside cools fairly quickly to form solid crust, but the inside remains molten. Second, the water in contact with the lava or crust (which is still quite hot) boils and forms an insulating layer of steam.
How do metamorphic rocks turn into a sedimentary rocks?
they cool and solidify on the earth's crust.
