What is Entropy? And what does It do?​

Physics
1 answer:
docker41 [41]3 years ago
3 0

Entropy by the modern definition is the amount of energy dispersal in a system. Therefore, the system entropy will increase when the amount of motion within the system increases. For example, the entropy increases when ice (solid) melts to give water (liquid). It will even increase more when water is evaporated to steam (gas).

How have earthquake data been used to explore the size of convection currents in the mantle?
nadezda [96]
 <span>Vibration waves from earth quakes travel through the earth and have measurable speed. And the different temperatures and fluidity of the various regions of the mantle will change that speed and or reflect the vibration waves in different directions. With multiple vibration sensors around the world the time that it takes for vibrations to travel from one part of the world to another will tell you what is inside.</span>
