Does heat create density? or does it remove density? i'm asking because i saw somewhere saying that the earth's core gets hotter and denser the deeper you go, but i have also been told that the convection process happens because material is heated and therefore density is removed, causing it to rise up. then, because it cools, it increases density and falls down. which is correct?

Density isn't exactly created per se, but you have the general idea down.

When materials are heated, they expand, increasing their volume, while leaving their total mass unchanged. This of course results in a decreased density.

However, this expansion can be counteracted by a large force. The immense pressure exerted on the core of the Earth acts in this manner, compressing the metals composing the core into an extremely dense ball.

In the mantle, however, the pressure is not great enough to force the magma into a solid state, and thus, it is able to flow. Because it can flow, hotter magma, which will be less dense, will rise, and cooler magma will sink.

To sum that up, both statements are true. The Earth's core does get hotter and more dense the deeper you go, and the convection process does occur because the heat of the core lessens the density of magma nearest to it, which causes it to rise, and then when it cools, it falls.

It is the doctrine that the us had the right and duty to expand throughout north america. it just means they believed they had the right to expand westward and they did! they stated with the 13 colonies and then they kept moving gaining different territories throughout the years
