What is the slow movement of material inside Earth caused by?
The core of the earth contains radioactive material and this causes a convection current in the mantle.
What causes the convection current to flow up at a point in the system?
When a material becomes hot enough, it rises because it less dense.
What are convection current and how are they formed?
Convection currents in the earth originate in the mantle. The liquid moves in a circle pattern as the hotter magma rises and the cooler magma falls. This can also be observed in any fluid material, gases or liquids.
What indicates a convection current?
a convection current occurs when a potato picked by a farmer falls off the wagon and is eaten by a donkey ps: your welcome
Is it true that the flow that transfers heat within a fluid is called a convection current?
In a convection current, heat flows with the heated molecules as they move around in the liquid or gas. In a solid, the heat transfers via condition
During convection hot material then moves to the side and . This circular pattern is called a convection current?
During convection, hot material rises due to its lower density, creating a convection current. As the material moves to the side, it cools down, becomes denser, and eventually sinks, completing the circular pattern of convection. This process is driven by temperature differences within the fluid.
What is the movement of material caused by the interaction warm and cool material?
Convection Current
What happened to warmer material in a convection current?
warmer material will move upward were it cools then fall back to the bottom so it can start the cycle (convection current) once again
What will happen to the convection current in the mantle if Earth's interior eventually cools down?
the convection currents will stop
In a convection current the cold material will?
... move to the bottom of the fluid
What is the movement of material caused by the interaction between warm and cool material?
Convection Current
During convection hot material do what?
During convection, hot material rises due to its lower density, creating a current that transfers heat from the hot material to cooler material. This process then causes the cooler material to sink and cycle back towards the heat source, creating a continuous convection current.
What happens to warmer in a convection current?
warmer material will move upward were it cools then fall back to the bottom so it can start the cycle (convection current) once again
What is the transfer of heat when warm material rises and cold sinks?
This process is known as convection. Warm material rises because it is less dense than cold material, creating a convection current. As the warm material rises and the cold material sinks, heat is transferred through the movement of the material.
What is the movement in both the Earth's engines of heated material upward and cooled material downward an example of?
convection current
The motion created when heated material continually rises cools and sinks?
Convection current
What is the slow movement of material inside Earth caused by?
The core of the earth contains radioactive material and this causes a convection current in the mantle.
