Answer:
D) it turns steam when released
Explanation:
In a nuclear reactor, the superheated water leaving turns to steam when released and it in turn is channeled to turn turbines in order to produce electricity.
- A nuclear reaction is used to generate current through a series of processes.
- The reaction produces a significant amount of heat energy.
- This heat energy is used to superheat water and convert it to steam.
- The steam is then channeled to drive turbines whose mechanical rotation produces electricity.
Our sun, is only a medium size star!
Answer: Snowfield or Glacier
Explanation:
The higher one goes, the colder it becomes. This affects water as well when it falls to the earth. If it falls in an area that is cold such as high elevation areas, it would end up freezing up and becoming snow.
When this happens, it would usually be stored in an area with other snow such as a snowfield or a glacier. This is why high mountains usually have snow caps. Mt. Kilimanjaro for instance in is Mid-Africa, a region which gets no snow whatsoever yet, it still has a snow cap.
Answer:
the conversion of radiant energy into "hidden" form through the process of evaporation.
Explanation:
Latent heat is the heat which is stored in the molecular motion of any substance when it changes its state, Like from solid to liquid, solid to gas or liquid to gas. It is also known as hidden heat.
Example: when water changes its state from water to water vapor, water absorbs energy from the environment. This energy is stored in the molecular movement of water molecules.
On earth, latent heat is transferred when there is evaporation of water from moist land surface or any water body. This causes transfer of heat from earth surface to atmosphere.
Bases on the above definition of latent heat option B is the correct one.
