The tectonic plates are made up of Earth's crust and the upper part of the mantle layer underneath. Together the crust and upper mantle are called the lithosphere. hope this helps :)

Which is a characteristic of thermal energy transfer through convection
Lynna [10]

Answer:  The thermal energy transfer is When a fluid, such as air or a liquid, is heated and then travels away from the source, it carries the thermal energy along.

Explanation: heat transfer is called convection.  hopefully this was helpful.

If a steady-state heat transfer rate of 3 kW is conducted through a section of insulating material 1.0 m2 in cross section and 2
kaheart [24]

Answer:

\Delta T = \frac{3000 W *0.025 m}{1 m^2 (0.2 \frac{W}{mK})}= 375 K

So then the difference of temperature across the material would be \Delta T = 375 K

Explanation:

For this case we can use the Fourier Law of heat conduction given by the following equation:

Q = -kA \frac{\Delta T}{\Delta x}   (1)

Where k = thermal conductivity = 0.2 W/ mK

A= 1m^2 represent the cross sectional area

Q= 3KW represent the rate of heat transfer

\Delta T is the temperature of difference that we want to find

\Delta x=2.5 cm =0.025 m represent the thickness of the material

If we solve \Delta T in absolute value from the equation (1) we got:

\Delta T =\frac{Q \Delta x}{Ak}

First we convert 3KW to W and we got:

Q= 3 KW* \frac{1000W}{1 Kw}= 3000 W

And we have everything to replace and we got:

\Delta T = \frac{3000 W *0.025 m}{1 m^2 (0.2 \frac{W}{mK})}= 375 K

So then the difference of temperature across the material would be \Delta T = 375 K
