Depends on the type of rock.
The thermal conductivity of most rocks range from 1 to 5 W/mK. (watt per meter kelvin)
Compared to other things:
Copper, a good conductor, its +-390 W/mK .
PUR foam, a good insulator, its +-0,03 W/mK .
So to answer your question: heat goes through rock, but not rapidly.
What else can I help you with?
What energy does a microwave transfer?
Microwaves transfer electromagnetic energy to heat and cook food by causing water molecules within the food to vibrate rapidly, generating heat.
Which method of heat transfer will melt a ice the fastest?
Conduction is the fastest method of heat transfer to melt ice. Placing the ice in direct contact with a warmer surface will transfer heat to the ice more rapidly than using convection or radiation.
A coin is placed on a very hot rock how will most of the heat be transferred to the coin?
Most of the heat will be transferred to the coin through conduction. When the coin comes in contact with the hot rock, the particles in the rock will transfer their energy to the particles in the coin, causing it to heat up.
Will glass or copper conduct heat the most rapidly?
Copper will conduct heat more rapidly than glass. This is because copper has higher thermal conductivity compared to glass, allowing heat to transfer more efficiently through the material.
What type of heat transfer takes place with foil?
Foil is a good conductor of heat, so heat transfer by conduction occurs when using foil. When foil comes into direct contact with a hot surface or food, it quickly conducts heat away, helping to cook or heat food more rapidly.
What role do atoms or molecules play to the transfer of heat?
They vibrate rapidly.
When rapidly vibrating atoms collide with slowly vibrating atoms causing a transfer of heat?
Heat
How does heat transfer from a rock to an animal?
Heat transfers from a rock to an animal through conduction. When the animal comes in contact with the rock, the heat energy from the rock moves to the animal through direct contact. The rate of heat transfer depends on factors like the temperature difference between the rock and the animal, the thermal conductivity of the rock, and the duration of contact.
What energy does a microwave transfer?
Microwaves transfer electromagnetic energy to heat and cook food by causing water molecules within the food to vibrate rapidly, generating heat.
Does slow movements of mantle rock called radiation transfer heat in the mantle?
No, slow movements of mantle rock called convection transfer heat in the mantle. Convection occurs due to the heat generated by the radioactive decay of elements in the mantle causing molten rock to rise and cooler rock to sink in a continuous cycle.
Which method of heat transfer will melt a ice the fastest?
Conduction is the fastest method of heat transfer to melt ice. Placing the ice in direct contact with a warmer surface will transfer heat to the ice more rapidly than using convection or radiation.
Do slow movements of mantle rock called convection transfer heat in the mantle?
Yes. It's true that slow movements of mantle rock called convection transfer heat in the mantle
Are slow movements of mantle rock called radiation heat transfer?
The movements of mantle rock is a classic example of thermal convection, though there will be some conductivity as well.
What is the basic theory of heat transfer?
Heat transfer occurs by convection, conduction and radiation. In conduction, heat is transferred through collision of rapidly moving molecules. It is only through successive collision of molecules that heat transfers through an object.
A coin is placed on a very hot rock how will most of the heat be transferred to the coin?
Most of the heat will be transferred to the coin through conduction. When the coin comes in contact with the hot rock, the particles in the rock will transfer their energy to the particles in the coin, causing it to heat up.
Will glass or copper conduct heat the most rapidly?
Copper will conduct heat more rapidly than glass. This is because copper has higher thermal conductivity compared to glass, allowing heat to transfer more efficiently through the material.
A coin is placed on a very hot rock. How will most of the heat be transferred to the coin?
Molecules in the rock will transfer heat to molecules in the coin through direct contact.
