Questions With Answers || || ||
The consequences of a planet or moon being hot inside. -
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔Differentiation || ||
Volcanism
Plate Tectonics||
Magnetic Fields ||
How hot the Earth is on the inside compared to the
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
surface of the Sun. - CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔The inner
|| || || || || || || ||
core is almost as hot as the surface of the Sun, but is solid
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
because the higher pressure raises the melting
|| || || || || || || ||
temperature
The relationship between heat and the motion in atoms. -
|| || || || || || || || || ||
CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔When a moving object is || || || || || ||
stopped, the large-scale motion (kinetic energy) is
|| || || || || || ||
converted into atomic scale motion (vibration of atoms), || || || || || || || ||
which is the definition of heat
|| || || || ||
How core formation leads to an increase in internal
|| || || || || || || || ||
temperature. - CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔the motion of the || || || || || || ||
falling iron is converted into deformation at the surface of
|| || || || || || || || ||
the growing core, producing heat.
|| || || || ||
, Tidal heating - CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔occurs anytime
|| || || || || ||
gravitational attraction between two bodies causes one of || || || || || || ||
them to deform, which generates heat
|| || || || || ||
Why Io is hot inside. - CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔Io's
|| || || || || || || ||
elliptical orbit around Jupiter causes the gravitational
|| || || || || || ||
force between the two to vary, changing how much Io's
|| || || || || || || || || ||
shape distorts as it orbits. This deformation generates
|| || || || || || || ||
enough heat to melt Io's interior
|| || || || ||
How radioactive decay produces heat. - CORRECT
|| || || || || || ||
ANSWER(S)✔✔the nucleus of an unstable atom || || || || || ||
transforms into a stable one by throwing off neutrons or
|| || || || || || || || || ||
protons, causing collisions that produce heat.
|| || || || ||
Why smaller planets cool faster than larger ones. -
|| || || || || || || || ||
CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔Less primordial heat (less || || || || ||
impacts, smaller core) || ||
Less radioactive elements to keep them hot
|| || || || || ||
Smaller bodies have larger surface areas compared to
|| || || || || || || ||
volume: can more efficiently get rid of heat
|| || || || || || ||
How heat is transferred with conduction, convection, and
|| || || || || || || ||
radiation. - CORRECT ANSWER(S)✔✔Convection: Heat
|| || || || ||
transfer through fluid motions of liquids and gases
