What role does density play in the movement of convection curruents?

Physics
1 answer:
shtirl [24]3 years ago
7 0

Convection occurs through heat transfer due to a difference in density in the fluids.

Consider a pot of water being heated. The water in the pot gets heated rises ,it provides energy for the particles in the water to move and thus the water expands which results in the density of the water becoming less. These particles rise up till the top of the pot owing to the property of very less density of the particles.


Then after some time, it cools down which results in increase of the density of the particles. The heavier denser particles sink to the bottom and is once again heated and rises and this process continues unless all the water particles in the pot are heated and warmed.This transfer of energy by the movement of particles cause convection.


During the day the heat surface above the earth exposed to the sun's rays is heated. This rise in temperature,decreases the density of the air and the warm air rises.

This air cools down and becomes denser. This dense cool air sink back and forces the warm air to rise again.

This transfer of movement of particles causes convection. This cycle is the cause of winds and thus energy is transferred through the atmosphere.

Please answer ASAP for brainliest
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Question #1- Scientists agree to a standard way of reporting measured quantities in which the number of reported digits reflects the precision in the measurement- more digits, more precision; less digits, less precision. You just studied 14 terms!

Question #2-  Units are important because without proper measurement and units to express them, we can never express physical laws precisely just from qualitative reasoning. Units are incredibly important to physics. Two of the most important reasons are the following: (1) they help us. to avoid making mistakes in computation, and (2) they serve as a check on computations once they are completed. In the first case, you can avoid adding 3m and 25cm and coming up with the wrong answer.

Explanation: Hope this helps please mark brainliest!

Explain a police role, and how important it is. also you can explain a mayor's role and how important it is...

A police's role in the community is to protect us and make sure that everyone is following the rules. it is important for a police to be there so we can be safe. Their status is fair enough. Another Example is a mayor. a mayor's job is to improve the city/ the community. His status is high. There are many people around us that help us, each with a different status.

How can a global dependence on fossil fuels have associated social costs?
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

Global dependence on fossil fuels has associated social costs.

Explanation:

Increased dependence on fossil fuels reduces their availability. When the demand is high and the availability is low, the price rises. Not every nation would then be able to afford buying fossil fuels at such high costs.

Developing and underdeveloped countries would then be left behind and only the wealthy nations would be able to afford fossil fuel purchase. This would be the immediate impact of global dependence on fossil fuels.

Fossil fuels are mainly coal, petroleum and natural gas. Since fossil fuels are non-renewable in nature over exploitation may lead to fossil fuels getting exhausted.
