What makes heat from the earths core spread out?
Heat from the Earth's core spreads out primarily through conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction occurs as heat transfers through solid materials, while convection involves the movement of molten rock or magma in the mantle, where hotter, less dense material rises and cooler, denser material sinks. This process creates convection currents that help distribute heat throughout the Earth. Additionally, some heat can escape to the surface through radiation, although this is a smaller component of the overall heat transfer.
How do glaciers tear down or build up earths surface?
The some times make kettle lakes and deposit till
What processes balance the heat budget of Earth's surface?
Some processes that help balance the heat budget of Earth's surface include radiation from the sun warming the surface, heat transfer through conduction and convection, and the reflection and absorption of heat by clouds and greenhouse gases. The Earth's surface also releases heat back into the atmosphere through processes like longwave radiation and latent heat transfer.
How is heat transferred beneath earths surface?
Heat beneath Earth's surface is transferred primarily through conduction, where heat is transferred from the hot interior of the Earth to the cooler outer layers. This process is aided by the slow movement of molten rock in the mantle, known as mantle convection, which helps distribute heat throughout the planet's interior. Additionally, some heat is also transferred through hot fluids like magma and water moving through fractures and faults in the Earth's crust.
What best explains what happens when liquid water evaporates to form water vapor?
When water molecules at the surface gain sufficient energy they can escape in the atmosphere.The energy of water molecules increase by a temperature increase and some molecules at the surface can escape in the atmosphere.
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
When Earths surface is heated it radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as "Infrared Radiation."
Why are some currents cold and some warm?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
When heated earths surface radiates some of the energy back into the atmosphere as?
infrared radiation, which contributes to the greenhouse effect. This process helps trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to the warming of the Earth's surface.
Why are some density currents warm and others cold?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
What does HELP stand for in swimming?
H.E.L.P stands for: Heat Escape Lessening Position OR, some people also call it: Heat Escape Lessening Posture
Air in the what is warmed by heat from the earths surface?
The air in the troposphere is warmed by heat from the Earth's surface through the process of conduction and convection. As the Earth's surface absorbs solar radiation, it heats up and transfers some of this heat to the air directly above it. This warming of the air creates temperature gradients and drives weather patterns and atmospheric circulation.
Why are warm currents warm and cold currents cold?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
What heats earths atmosphere?
The sun heats the atmosphere. Solar radiation largely passes through the atmosphere and warms the surface of the earth. The earth then radiates heat up into the lower levels of the atmosphere where greenhouse gases warm. The warmed greenhouse gases then continue to radiate heat in all directions warming the atmosphere and again the earth's surface.
What causes earths surface to heat up?
The sun ray's are most responsible for Earth's surface temperature.
What is the major heat source of earth's crust?
there are many reasons for heat in earths crust. like the friction between rock masses during movements of earths crust. there may also be heat left over from the original heat of earths interior. but the main reason for heat in earths crust is radioactive elements. they give off energy that can be absorbed as heat. some radioactive elements include uranium, thorium, and a form of potassium.
What covers the earths surface?
mostly water. There are some continents on there too though i believe.
Where do you experience more gravity on earths surface or earths center?
on the surfaceNote:Since the earth's composition is not homogeneous, the gravitational acceleration onthe surface is probably less than what it is some small distance below the surface,but it's certainly greater than at the center.
