How does convection transfer heat from one place to another on the earth?
Viktor [21]
<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>

Which of the following occurred about 21,000 years ago?a. The North Atlantic Ocean begins to form.b. India breaks off from Antar
Alona [7]

Answer: c) The formation of the ice age glaciers occurred about 21,000 years ago.

Explanation:

The last glacial period occurred in the period between 115,000 - 11,700 years in the past with the recent glacial period called Quaternary glaciation. Though some call this period the last ice age, it is a wrong definition because ice age is defined by year-long ice which still persists in the Antarctica and Greenland. The last glaciation that occurred 21,000 years in the past, is the last glaciation on Rocky Mountain.

It occurred in the period 31,000 - 10,000 years and between 23,500 - 21,000, it was at its highest. The glaciation was not made of the giant ice sheet but was made of mountain glaciers known as Cordilleran Ice Sheets. These sheets produced Lake Missoula which late caused Missoula flooding.
