Why does the smaller plate heat faster than the big plate on the stove?

This is due to surface area, size/volume and compactment. The smaller plate heats faster because it has a lowwer volume and size than the big plate, which makes it posses a smaller surface area and also in a smaller compactment. This allows heat to flow through the smaller plate and covering its entire mass in a shorter time than it does in the big plate, making the smaller plate heat up faster and sooner.


What plate motion has created the Himalayan mountain range?
