2 I. CONVECTION AND THE MANTLE
A. INTRO a. Earth’s molten core is nearly as hot as the ___Surface_____ of the Sun. b. Heated objects have particles that move ____faster_____. c. The faster particles have more __energy____. Brain Pop: Heat

3 II. TYPES OF HEAT TRANSFER
a. Heat ALWAYS moves from __Warmer____ substance to a ____Cooler____ substance. b. There are __3____ types of Heat transfer: __Radiation,__Conduction and Convection. _________________________________, and __________________________. Video on Heat Transfer

4 A. Radiation a. The transfer of _energy___ through __space____ is called ___radiation_____. b. Two types of radiation is: ___Sunlight_____ and a __flame____ or ____open___ ___fire____.

5 B. Conduction a. Heat transfer ___within___ a material or between materials that are ___touching__ is called ___Conduction______. b. One example is a ____spoon___ in a ___pot___ on a stove.

6 B. Convection a. Heat can be transferred by the movement of ___fluids____,- ___liquids___ and ___gases____. b. Convection is ___heat___ ___transfer___ by the movement of ____currents___ within a fluid. c. Heat transfer by Convection is due to changes in ____temperature___ and ___density__ in a fluid. d. Density is a measure of how much ___Mass____ there is in a given ___Volume____. Heat Transfer Rap

7 III. CONVECTION CURRENTS
A. Convection Currents a. A convection current is the _flow__ that transfers heat within a __fluid___. b. _Heating__ and _Cooling__ of the fluid , __changes___ in the fluid’s density and the __force___ of __Gravity__ combine to set ____Convection____ currents in motion.

8 B. Convection Currents in the Earth
a. Heat from the _Core______ and the __Mantle____ itself causes convection currents in the _Mantle___.
