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

1 answer:

3 0

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.

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.

So, the answer would be
through the greenhouse effect
And could also be through the movement of winds and currents

What form of government was first formed in Ancient Greece?

Describe the processes that are responsible for condensation to take place close to the ground

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

Condensation near the ground

Fog develops when air having a relatively high humidity comes in contact with a colder surface, often the Earth's surface, and cools to the dew point. Additional cooling leads to condensation and the growth of low-level clouds.

Scientists collect current data about the Earth’s surface temperatures in all the following ways except: a. land-based meteorolo

Ierofanga [76]

Scientists collect current data about the Earth’s surface temperatures in all the following ways except:

c. air bubbles that form in winter ice

Explanation:

Out of the given options this one is the most outlandish as there will be too many variables in play in here if the people are to try to compute the data for meteorological department regarding the temperatures.

These air bubbles do not give an accurate temperature for the surface they are on encase they are insulated and they are also difficult or impossible to control.

much better ways are there to use on the snow instead of this which includes land based stations.
