<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.

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

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Las características de estos instrumentos son los siguientes.

El mapa, es la representación gráfica pero más sencilla de un lugar. Podríamos decir que es la descripción simplificada de un sitio, que incluye información métrica. El mapa es el documento básico que usamos para localizar un territorio determinado.

Las cartas sirven a la Geografía representando escalas con mayor detalle. Esto las diferencia de los mapas. En las cartas se pueden representar relieves más finos, incluyendo curvaturas.

Los planos son una herramienta muy útil en la cartografía porque son representaciones o descripciones que ayudan a la Geografía a describir extensiones de territorios a pequeñas escala.

En el caso del globo terráqueo, éste básicamente es usado por los profesores en las escuelas como un respaldo académico, cuyo objeto es enseñarle a los estudiantes las características generales de nuestro planeta. Es una manera lúdica y participativa de enseñar las curvatura de la tierra, los nombres de los continentes, los océanos, entre otras cosas.

When plate tectonics cause cracks to form, ________________.
Simora [160]

The answer is B.

During plate tectonics, cracks may occur in the earth crust that causes magma to rise up from the mantle. The cracks may also cause cracks to form on the crust that makes outlet channels for the magma in magma chambers. These result in volcanic eruptions on the surface of the earth that form volcanic features such as mountains.
