A plate, whether spinning or not, is matter, not energy. However, it possesses kinetic energy if it's moving.

What is one other way energy is transferred from the inside of Earth to the outside other than by crustal plate movement?

Heat loss by electromagnetic radiation & by convection


Why do ants survive in a microwave oven?

Being small keeps the ant close to the conducting metal plate at the base of the oven where the amplitude of the microwaves is minimal. I am not sure whether the ant is able to utilise the interference pattern set up by the microwave sources, but it would if you stopped the plate rotating. In addition the ant has a low fat / water content to minimise energy adsorption and high surface area to body mass ratio which aids heat loss. In addition ants can tolerate high body temperatures (above 50C) and desert species are able to remain active during the daytime.


Is it a good idea to microwave a bakougon?

LOL If you want a melted one. You should do that on like a plate or something with something non stick so that it won't melt and stick onto the microwave. Have fun doing that! and tell me the results.I'm Nguyen P Le


Is a sizzling plate a conductor or insulator?

conductor is the answer. why? because it is a sizzling plate it is of course absorbing heat into the plate and making it conductor because of the thermal energy being high due to the temperature, so high thermal energy is equal to being hot. Hopes this helps


Which type of energy transfer occurs when water is heated on a hot plate?

It is called conduction. The molecules vibrate and the energy transferred between molecules from a high temperature area to a low temperature area.

When you cook food in a microwave oven why doesn't the plate get get cooked?

Plates are usually either ceramic or glass. Both materials are transparent to the microwave radiation in a microwave oven. The electromagnetic energy goes right through the plates like they weren't there. It is the food that heats the plate as that food is being heated. Remember that the microwave radiation is "tuned" to work on the hydrogen-oxygen bonds in water. It gives them "energy" and heats them up. There are some plates that will actually get a bit hot directly from the microwave energy, but that depends on the composition of the plate.

Yes if it is microwave proof


Why does a plate not heat when in the microwave?

Does a microwave use light energy?

yes its does because when the microwave is on and the plate is rotating,the light is actually heating the food. It is not the visible light that does the heating, that is provided simply so you can see inside the oven. It is the microwaves that do the heating, by agitating molecules of water in the food. That's why you can't heat dry food in microwave oven. The microwaves are EM radiation like visible light, but a different wavelength.
