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

The two lines of longitude that are found opposite from one another will always add up to?

Nat2105 [25]

Answer: 360°

Explanation;

Lines of longitude are imaginary lines that used along with latitudes allow us to be able to locate points on Earth. Longitudes are drawn vertically on maps with the most popular one being the Prime( Greenwich) meridian.

As the Earth is spherical, the lines of longitude encircle the Earth which means that an entire longitudinal line will be 360°. As maps are flattened out, the longitudinal line is divided into 2 such that the longitudinal lines seen on a map are 180° each. When a line of longitude is added to its opposite, they will reform the original line that runs around the earth thereby making 360°.
