what kind of heat transfer is magma
Transfer of Heat. Magma can also be created when hot, liquid rock intrudes into Earthâs cold crust. As the liquid rock solidifies, it loses its heat to the surrounding crust. Much like hot fudge being poured over cold ice cream, this transfer of heat is able to melt the surrounding rock (the âice creamâ) into magma. Transfer of heat often happens at convergent boundaries, where tectonic plates are crashing together.
Conduction is heat transfer by means of molecular agitation within a material without any motion of the material as a whole. If one end of a metal rod is at a higher temperature, then energy will be transferred down the rod toward the colder end because the higher speed particles will collide with the slower ones with a net transfer of energy to the slower ones.
