Is the transfer of thermal energy between two bodies which are at different temperatures. the si unit for this is the joule. generally considered the raising of temperature due to thermal energy

Heat

Explanation:

The thermal energy is usually defined as a heat energy that occurs due to the increase in temperature. Due to this increasing temperature, the atoms, as well as the molecules, start to migrate at a much faster rate and rapid collisions occur with one another.

This temperature change that is involved in this process can be measured.

Thus, in thermal energy, heat (heat energy) is transferred from one body to another at different distinct temperatures.

The SI unit of heat is Joule.

layers of the earth affect the waves and these effects are seen on instruiments such as seimometers

answer: the metamorphic rocks are formed when they are exposed to high pressure and high temperatures. this happens when one of the earth's plates comes in contact with the other plate by traveling in opposite directions, straight into each other or slipping under one another. the friction that is caused by this activity results in   melting of rocks and when it cools they are known as metamorphic rocks. this process needs a controlled amount of pressure and temperature otherwise it may turn into magma.
