Answer:
There is a total of three processes within the Earth's interior:
convection, conduction, and radiation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question refers to the ways of heat, as energy, which is transferred or transmitted, from one body to another, because of difference in temperature between them. Conduction, Convection and Radiation, are the mechanism by which heat ( as energy) can be transferred or transmitted.
Conduction.
This mechanism the direct transfer of energy through a material due to the movement of molecules at high temperatures to the molecules at lower temperatures.
To be noted that the term “conduction” is also used in electricity as electrical conduction in materials (in general) and is the transference of an electrical charge from one position to another. Metals conduction is due to the high mobility of electrons which migrate though the crystal lattice.
Convection.
Refers to the heat transfer mechanism for substances which show small/poor heat transfer, by direct conduction, such as fluids ( liquids, vapours, and gasses). There are two processes involved in convention of heat ( or energy) transfer, the Natural Convection and the Forced Convection. In both processes there are various parameters involved for the calculation of heat transfer. These include the specific heat and thermal conductivity of the fluids, the density, the velocity etc.
Radiation.
This mechanism of heat transfer is based on the fact that all bodies emit energy by radiation, in the form of electromagnetic waves, but without the need of conducting medium. By definition the speed of light is the speed at which light waves propagate through materials is 299 792 458 m/s ( or 299792 km/s ) in vacuum. However, due to interaction of the magnetic and electrostatic fields, and produce various different effects depending of their wavelength.The heat is transmitted between the end of region of radio waves ( Radio waves are long wavelengths and very short waves called gamma (γ) Ray's)
At about halfway between these two wavelengths there is a small section which is “visible (by human) light,” and the “ very high frequency light” which is the end of the radio waves exists the the range of wavelengths by which heat is transmitted. Actually this range frequencies which is below the frequency of red light is the “ infrared “. The amount of heat radiated, as well as the range of wavelengths where the radiation takes place is determined by the temperature of the body under consideration.
But to answer your question:
Three mechanisms—convection, conduction, and radiation—transfer energy throughout the Earth's internal system, including the atmosphere, oceans, and surface. On either a small scale or a big size, all of these processes can take place simultaneously. The atmosphere and ocean are discovered to be strongly coupled.
