Would a greater or less amount of exposed surface area absorb thermal energy faster? Why? Give an example.

Explanation:

A greater amount of surface area exposed will absorb thermal energy faster compared to a surface with a lesser exposed area.

Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy in which the molecules of a medium increases their velocity.

the correct option is option d

answer:

convection currents in the magma drive plate tectonics. heat generated from the radioactive decay of elements deep in the interior of the earth creates magma (molten rock) in the aesthenosphere. the aesthenosphere (70 ~ 250 km) is part of the mantle, the middle sphere of the earth that extends to 2900 km.
