ELS Week 3 Lesson 2

The document discusses the sources of heat within the Earth, including primordial heat from its formation and radiogenic heat from the decay of isotopes like Uranium and Thorium. It outlines three mechanisms of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation, explaining how each process operates. Additionally, it covers the formation of magma through partial melting and includes questions related to magmatism and magma generation processes.

▪Primordial Heat (Heat
from Formation): This is the
heat left over from the
Earth's formation
approximately 4.5 billion
years ago.
▪Radiogenic Heat (Radioactive
Decay): This is continuously
generated heat produced by the
radioactive decay of unstable
isotopes of elements within the
Earth's mantle and crust.
▪Radiogenic Heat (Radioactive
Decay): The main radioactive
isotopes responsible for this heat
are:Uranium-238 ( 238 U)Uranium-
235 ( 235 U)Thorium-232 ( 232
Th)Potassium-40 ( 40 K)
▪THREE MECHANISMS OF
HEAT TRANSFER
▪Conduction
▪Convection
▪Radiation
▪Conduction
➢Heat transfer through direct contact
between particles.
➢heat is transferred by the vibration of
atoms and the movement of free
electrons.
➢In fluids (liquids and gases), it occurs
through collisions between molecules.
▪Convection
▪-Heat transfer through the movement of
fluids (liquids or gases).
▪When a fluid is heated, it becomes less
dense and rises, while cooler, denser
fluid sinks to take its place.
▪This creates a continuous circulation or
"convection current" that transfers heat.
▪Radiation
➢Heat transfer through electromagnetic waves
(such as infrared radiation, visible light, or
microwaves).
➢Unlike conduction and convection, radiation
does not require a medium to transfer heat
and can occur through a vacuum.
➢All objects above absolute zero emit thermal
radiation.
▪Describe how magma is
formed (magmatism)
COMPOSITION OF MAGMA
▪PARTIAL MELTING
▪-is what happens when only some
parts of the rock melt.
▪-it takes place because rocks are not
pure materials

surface, it is then called as
___________________.

▪C. lava
▪D. hotspot
▪2. _________________________
refers to the activity or the motion
of magma.

▪3. The following are magma-
generating processes except
______________________________.
▪A. Increase in temperature
▪B. Decrease in pressure
▪C. Spreading margins
▪D. Addition of volatiles
▪4. Mantle rocks remain solid when exposed
to high pressure. However, during
convection, these rocks tend to go upward
(shallower level), and the pressure is
reduced. What process is being described?
▪A. flux melting
▪B. heat transfer
▪C. partial melting
▪D. decompression melting
