How does convection transfer heat from one place to another on the earth?

Geography

Viktor [21]4 years ago

<span>Thermal energy is transferred from hot places to cold places by convection. Convection occurs when warmer areas of a liquid or gas rise to cooler areas in the liquid or gas. Cooler liquid or gas then takes the place of the warmer areas which have risen higher. This results in a continous circulation pattern. Water boiling in a pan is a good example of these convection currents. Another good example of convection is in the atmosphere. The earth's surface is warmed by the sun, the warm air rises and cool air moves in.

</span><span>Convection is the movement of heat through gases or liquids. Heat from the sun heats the air which can account for A and D, but a lot of the Earth's heat is distributed by the ocean. Water has a high specific heat which can absorb a lot of heat in one place, and distribute it in a colder place evening out the Earth's temperatures a bit.
</span>
So, the answer would be 
<span>through the greenhouse effect
And could also be </span><span>through the movement of winds and currents</span>

Points A, B, C are collinear find AC if AB= 16 and BC= 12
maw [93]
I’m pretty sure you just add AB to BC, since they are all points on a line, those two segments add together to get the value of AC. Therefore, 12+16= 28, so AC=28

¿En qué países de Europa tendrán<br>mayores problemas debido a la disminución de población?
IgorC [24]

Answer:

The vast majority of European countries will have problems because of population decline, with the ones in the eastern half of the continent being more affected.

Explanation:

As a whole, Europe is a continent that is having big problems with population decline. Just three countries in the continent experience slight population growth, while all others either stagnate or experience a decline. Now when it comes to birthrates and death rates, the differences are minuscule across the continent, but migration is something that makes the difference better.

While both the western and eastern half have low birthrates, the western, richer side doesn't really lose population but has a rough stagnation. This is due to the fact that it is an attractive destination for migrants, including migrants from the poorer eastern half of Europe, so the numbers are relatively static. The eastern half of Europe though, not just has low birthrates, but it also losses a lot of its population because it migrates toward the western half in search of a better life. Also, it is not very attractive for migrants from other regions, so it experiences a rapid population decline. The two most extreme cases in the last three decades are Macedonia and Bulgaria, each losing roughly between 20 and 25% of their populations.

Astronauts floating around inside the space shuttle are not actually in a zero-gravity environment. Explain what is the real rea
solniwko [45]
<span>For the answer to the question above, imagine they are traveling at approximately 17,500mph, at a tangent to the Earth, so, in absence of gravity, would be propelled away from the Earth like a slingshot. But the Earth's gravity pulls them in at the same rate, so that the net effect is zero, and they circle the Earth instead of flying off at the tangent.</span>
