Explain the three mechanisms of heat transfer in Earth’s atmosphere.

Biology
1 answer:
MariettaO [177]2 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

There are three ways heat is transferred into and through the atmosphere.

radiation. conduction. convection.

Radiation

Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through space by electromagnetic radiation.If you have stood in front of a fireplace or near a campfire, you have felt the heat transfer known as radiation. The side of your body nearest the fire warms, while your other side remains unaffected by the heat. Although you are surrounded by air, the air has nothing to do with this transfer of heat. Heat lamps, that keep food warm, work in the same way.

Conduction

Welding iron is transferring heat by conduction

Conduction is the transfer of heat energy from one substance to another or within a substance. Have you ever left a metal spoon in a pot of soup being heated on a stove? After a short time, the handle of the spoon will become hot.This is due to transfer of heat energy from molecule to molecule or from atom to atom. Also, when objects are welded together, the metal becomes hot (the orange-red glow) by the transfer of heat from an arc.

Convection

convection is the transfer of heat energy in a fluid. This type of heating is most commonly seen in the kitchen with a boiling liquid.

Air in the atmosphere acts as a fluid. The sun's radiation strikes the ground, thus warming the rocks. As the rock's temperature rises due to conduction, heat energy is released into the atmosphere, forming a bubble of air which is warmer than the surrounding air. This bubble of air rises into the atmosphere. As it rises, the bubble cools with the heat contained in the bubble moving into the atmosphere

andre [41]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure it's C) Accumulated

Explanation:

Accumulated verb in the dictionary is: past tense: accumulated; past participle: accumulated

So I would think that it does not have anything to do with division of cells, or the process.

I'm sorry if this is not right. I hope it is though.

Have a nice day! Bye :)

What is the interrelationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
Kamila [148]
Photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make ATP. The glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. While water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.

the german physician robert koch provided evidence to support the germ theory of infectious disease. koch isolated bacteria from
densk [106]

He did this by experiment with anthrax. Using a microscope, Koch analysed the blood of cows that had failed of anthrax. He marked rod-shaped bacteria and supposed they caused anthrax.

<h3>What does anthrax do to a human?</h3>

Anthrax induces skin, lung, and bowel disease and can be fatal. Anthrax is analysed using bacterial cultures from infected tissues.

There are 04 kinds of anthrax: cutaneous, inhalation, gastrointestinal, and injection.

Anthrax is cured by antibiotics.

Thus,  He kept rod-shaped bacteria and supposed they caused anthrax.
