Question

A scientist built a computational model to investigate what happens when magma comes into contact with the ground surface. In the model, the ground surface was 293K, whereas the magma was 1,500K. The model examined different depths of the magma away from Earth's surface and toward the core. Over a greater amount of time, more magma cooled. What form of heat transfer accounts for the magma cooling? ​​​​​​​

Answer 1

Conductive heat transfer is most likely responsible for the cooling of the magma

Step-by-step explanation:

The Earth's core is continuously cooling due to human's digging, allowing for more space and heat escape from the Earth's core. All magma closer to the core would have its heat absorbed by the core, hereby increasing its coolness.

This heat transfer process is common to conduction.
