ENDOGENIC PROCESSESS Flashcards
the transfer or flow due to the difference in temperature between the two objects
heat
the result of the movement of tiny particles called atoms, molecules or ions in solid, liquid and gases. Can be transferred from one object to another
HEAT ENERGY
the internal heat energy that gradually gathered together by means of dispersion in the planet during its few million years of evolution
PRIMORDIAL HEAT
the thermal energy released as a result of spontaneous nuclear disintegration
RADIOGENIC HEAT
radioactive elements inside earth
URANIUM, THORIUM AND POTASSIUM
Process of heat transfer that governs the thermal conditions in almost entire solid portions of the earth and plays a very important role in the lithosphere
CONDUCTION
Process of heat transfer by the movement of mass, which is a more efficient means of heat transport in the earth compared to pure conduction
CONVECTION
Hot temperature in convection
UMAANGAT
Cold temperature in convection
BUMABABA
the process of heat exchange between the sun and the earth, and controls the temperatures at the earths surface.
