Chemistry
1 answer:

Answer:

Convection is the process of heat transfer in which hotter and therefore less dense matter floats to the top, while cooler and therefore more dense material sinks to the bottom to absorb heat.

Explanation:

Convection is one form of heat transfer; other forms include conduction and (heat) radiation (not exactly the same as the kind uranium emits).

This form of heat transfer is characterised by a use of current in a liquid, in which the sinking and rising create a current which has a shape of a loop.

This requires an outside source of heat, since to sustain the current, once the heated fluid rises up, it must lose heat to the environment to sink, but to rise it must gain heat again.

How does the surface metabolism model of chemical evolution differ from the prebiotic soup model? see section 2.4 ( page 70) ?
evablogger [386]

The surface metabolism model evokes mineral catalysts. Surface metabolism model dissolved gases in contact with minerals lining the walls of the deep-sea hydrothermal vents and formed more complex, organic molecules while Prebiotic soup model is molecules in atmosphere or from meteorites condensed in the ocean which led to the formation of more complex molecules.
