Best Answer

A thermal burn is an area of tissue damaged by extreme temperature (either hot or cold). Examples of this would include the traditional burns - fire, hot stove, sun, etc. You can also get thermal burns from cold, such as dry ice.

What can cause a chemical burn?

Heat causes thermal burns. Contact with Flames, hot objects, hot liquids, hot gases, or the fireball from an explosion will result in a thermal burn.


Can electricity cause thermal burns?

Yes, exposure to electricity can cause thermal burns by generating heat when passing through the body. The severity of the burn depends on factors like the amount of current and the duration of exposure.

What can casuse a thermal burn?

A thermal burn can be caused by exposure to heat sources such as fire, hot liquids, steam, or contact with hot objects. The severity of the burn depends on the temperature of the heat source and the duration of contact with the skin.

What can cause a a thermal burn?

Heat from radiation or conduction (contact). The "burn" from very cold substances is not actually a burn, but has some of the same characteristics. Freezing temperatures (such as dry ice) will rupture cells in the same way that burns do, but by forming ice crystals instead of steam. Tissue damage and necrosis can progress in a similar manner from both injuries. One major difference is that there is no heat oxidation (charring) in ice burns.


What is consistent with a thermal effect?

Superficial burn


If you slide a crate across the floor kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy as it comes to rest. Why will adding thermal energy to a stationary crate not cause it to move?

# cos nothing is converting it to kinetic energy # if you add enough thermal energy the box will burn and "move" :)


Treatment for thermal burn?

This may be accomplished by letting cool water run over the burned area or by soaking it in cool (not cold) water. Ice should never be applied to the burn.


How does thermal energy cause substances to undergo chemical change how does thermal energy cause substances to undergo chemical change?

Thermal energy cause thermal decomposition of a compound; the bonds between atoms are weakened.
