Melting gain or loss thermal energy?
For melting thermal energy is needed to work against the attractive force of crystallization. So heat gained from outer force is lost in doing such a work
Why do water droplet appear on outer surface of glass when cold water is poured in it?
The cold water reduces the temperature of the glass. The cold glass reduces the temperature of the air around the glass. The amount of moisture in air is temperature dependant hotter air can contain a higher moisture content. If the air temperature is reduced the water condenses. In this case the cold glass reduces the air temperature in contact with the glass, this results in the condenstion of moisture from the air, and water droplets are formed.
How does the amount of diffraction depend on the wavelength?
The greater the wavelength, the higher the bending will be. Diffraction can be described best through sound, you can hear a loud stereo in different rooms.
How much is temperature on electric arc?
11,0000 deg. F, or 6,000 deg. C. This is roughly the same temperature as the sun's photosphere, or outer visible layer.
Why outer surface of a cooled bottle gets wet at room temperature?
Humidity in the air condenses on the cool bottle surface.
Is the temperature of the outer core higher or lower then the melting point?
higher
Is the temperature of the outer core higher OR lower than its melting point?
The outer core is liquid. Its pressure is low enough and its temperature high enough for it to melt. The inner core is solid. Both its pressure and temperature are higher than the outer core, but the increased pressure overwhelms the increased temperature, keeping the inner core from melting.
Is the temperature of the inner core lower or higher than its melting?
higher
In earths interior which zone has temperature higher than its melting point?
outer core; Earth Science Reference Tables page 10
What causes the inner core to be solid when the outer core is liquid?
The extremely high pressure at the inner core drives the melting point of the iron and other materials up beyond the temperature of the inner core. Therefore they remain solid. The pressure in the outer core is lower sop the melting point is below the temperature in this region and so it is a liquid.
Is the moon solid?
This phenomenon has to do with melting temperature and pressure. The more pressure a substance is under, the higher its melting point becomes. Both the liquid outer core and the solid inner core are made of an iron alloy, which means that chemically their melting points are the same. However, the outer core is under less pressure simply because it is under less material. The outer core supports the weight of the crust and mantle, while the inner core must also bear the weight of the outer core. The additional mass of the outer core creates enough pressure on the inner core to raise the melting temperature of the iron alloy above the temperature at the center of the earth, causing it to solidify. So in short, the inner core is solid because it is under more pressure than the outer core. Hope this helps
Is the core of the earth hotter than the core of the moon?
The outer core is liquid. Its pressure is low enough and its temperature high enough for it to melt. The inner core is solid. Both its pressure and temperature are higher than the outer core, but the increased pressure overwhelms the increased temperature, keeping the inner core from melting.
Why is the earth's outer core liquid but the inner is solid?
That's all because of pressure. The higher pressure, the higher the temperature should be to melt something. And the deeper you are in the earth, the higher the pressure becomes.
What is the melting point of the outer core?
the melting point is about i think 100,576 degrees Fahrenheit hope i helped :)
