1.    The sun’s thermal energy is exhibited from its surface traveling to the ocean floor in the day

2.    As the heat energy is absorbed by the water, the currents move and rise as the ocean waters from the equator heads to the north phase of the planet.

3.    And then the waters from the polar areas heads to the south, while ascending and gushing it becomes heated by the sun.


The sun’s gravity also affects this body of water. Since it has a much more stronger gravitation pull than of earth though its far away hence, high tide and low tide tendencies.

The heat moves in predictable ways, flowing from warmer objects to cooler ones, until both reach the same temperature. When air is in contact with the ocean at a different temperature than the sea  surface, heat transfer by a conductor. The ocean absorbs and stores energy from the sun and when precipitation falls , it release heat energy in the atmosphere(air)

What do you mean by atomic number? ​
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Atomic number is the number of protons in an isotope or element.

Explanation: The atomic number is the same number of protons in an element or isotope and if said isotope is neutral than it is the same number of electrons.

Example: Atomic number = 19 Protons = 19 if neutral Electrons = 19

Do you think thermal expansion affects all states of matter or just the solid? Explain your thinking.
torisob [31]

Answer:

All three states of matter (solid, liquid and gas) expand when heated. The atoms themselves do not expand, but the volume they take up does.

When a solid is heated, its atoms vibrate faster about their fixed points. The relative increase in the size of solids when heated is therefore small. Metal railway tracks have small gaps so that when the sun heats them, the tracks expand into these gaps and don’t buckle.

Liquids expand for the same reason, but because the bonds between separate molecules are usually less tight they expand more than solids. This is the principle behind liquid-in-glass thermometers. An increase in temperature results in the expansion of the liquid which means it rises up the glass.

Molecules within gases are further apart and weakly attracted to each other. Heat causes the molecules to move faster, (heat energy is converted to kinetic energy) which means that the volume of a gas increases more than the volume of a solid or liquid.

However, gases that are contained in a fixed volume cannot expand - and so increases in temperature result in increases in pressure.:
