The magnetic fields of Earth and other planets are generated by turbulent, rotating convection in liquid metal. Liquid metals are peculiar in that they diffuse heat more readily than momentum, ...

The possible causes of convection in the Earth's mantle are examined, and it is concluded that radiogenic heating together with thermal conduction is most likely to provide the driving force for any ...

Temperature and heat are not the same. The temperature of an object is to do with how hot or cold it is. It is measured indegrees Celsius, °C, with a thermometer. Thermal energy is to do with the ...
