  • yes. Only after the heat is dispersed from the rock it will essentially vanish due to the oceans size and movement. The rock will change to the ocean temp because the volume difference is so vast and the ocean temp will only rise locally for a small amount of time.
  • Yes. Same processes involved. Only applicable in hte immediate vicinity of the rock.
  • The heat will be transferred from rock to water. However, the volume of water in the Atlantic Ocean is so great that the small change of water temperature won't affect much.
  • Sure - read the first part of your question for the explaination. The only difference is the portions - the volume of the ocean is so much greater than the rock; the most will change little and the lesser -the rock will adjust more.
  • If you drop a very hot rock in a pail of cold water often the rock will crack sometimes in two. The heat from the rock will be absorbed by the water increasing the temperature of the water. By how much depends on the size of the rock and its temperature and the amount of water it is dropped into.
