THE EARTH’S INTERIOR CRUST - 70 km MANTLE – 2,867 km
OUTER CORE - 2,266 km INNER CORE - 1,216 km r = 1,216 2,266 2,867 6,419 km CIRCUMFERENCE = x d = 3.14 x 12,838 = 40, km or… CIRCUMFERENCE = r = 2 x 3.14 x 6,419 d = r x 2 = 6,419 x 2 = 12,838 km

Review: What does heating a substance do to it’s particles?
Particles spread out to become less dense!
6
What is Heat Transfer? The movement of heat energy from: WARM
SUBSTANCES COOL SUBSTANCES Remember: there is no such thing as cold, just an absence of heat. Heat is very generous. It is always sharing itself. It wants everything in the universe at the same temperature, so it spreads itself out to things not having heat.
7
There are three are ways to transfer the same heat to the same place-for instance a hand.
8
Radiation- Transfer of heat through space
Example: Sunshine
9
Conduction- Heat transfer within a material, or between materials that are touching
10
Convection- Heat transfer by the movement of currents within a fluid
Particles cool at top of the pot, contract, and become more dense The less dense particles rise to the top of the pot Particles heat up, spread out, and become less dense The more dense particles sink to the bottom of the pot SOUP HEAT SOURCE
11
CONVECTION IN THE MANTLE
Particles cool at top of the mantle, contract, and become more dense The less dense particles rise to the top of the mantle, reaching the crust Particles heat up, spread out, and become less dense The more dense particles sink to the bottom of the mantle, reaching the core HEAT SOURCE = Core CONVECTION IN THE MANTLE
12
Review: Heat Transfer Radiation- Transfer of heat through space or air/gas Conduction- Heat transfer within a material, or between materials that are touching Convection- Heat transfer by the movement of currents within a fluid (gasses, liquids & amorphous solids)
13
Define – Fluid: Any substance that can flow. This includes gasses, liquids and amorphous solids.
