Answer:

Radiation and advection

Explanation:

  • Conduction: It happens when particles of matter are in direct contact, the adjacent atoms of higher energy vibrate against each other transferring energy from high to low temperature. Fluids and gases are less conductive than solids because their atoms have a greater distance. An example is the heat transferred between the electric burner of a stove and the bottom of a pan.
  • Convection: Is a heat transference between a surface and a liquid or gas in motion, as the fluid/gas travels faster the transferred heat increases. An example of this transfer takes place in a forced-air furnace and weather systems.
  • Advection: is similar to convection but the transfer of heat is lateral or horizontal. In the atmosphere this kind of transfer is common.
  • Radiation: is the transfer through empty space, it occurs without an intervening medium when microwaves, infrared radiation, visible light or another electromagnetic radiation is emitted or absorbed. An example is the sun warming the Earth.

Advection and radiation are the primary forms of heat transfer. Convection only happens in the troposphere because horizontal heat transfer (advection) is significantly bigger. The same happens with conduction that only transfers heat in the lower layers of the atmosphere, Sun's radiation, on the other hand, gets absorbed in all the atmosphere.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

The world population changed relatively little between the years 1200 and 1400. Which of the following statements about this tim
IRINA_888 [86]
C

Given that the World population changed little between this time, we can gather than the birth and death rates were similar, since they seem to cancel each other out from 1200-1400. To clarify, think of this. If you add something to a total (think births to population), but take away the same number (think deaths from population) you end up with the same total as before. Because of this, A is the correct answer choice (The birth rate and death rate were about equal).

Out of the features given, which take place due to convergent plate boundaries?
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Convergent plate boundaries cause tsunamis

Explanation:

The breaking rocks allow the overriding plate to slip over part of the subducting plate all along the fault line. The plate movement on the ocean floor can cause a tsunami.
