What role do currents play in transporting heat? How does water temperature affect land nearby?

Physics
1 answer:
yarga [219]4 years ago

When warm currents move over cool land surface, they dissipate heat due to the temperature gradient . They hence warm up the land they blow over. If a cold current blows over warm land, the land loses heat to the current. This is how currents distribute heat across the earth.


When the current blow from water to land, the current will be warm or cold depending on the water temperatures. Therefore, they will warm up or cool the adjacent land mass.

True or False? Gases such as water vapor condense when they are *heated*.

That statement is <em>false</em>.  

"Condense" is what a gas does when it turns into liquid, and that's something that happens when the gas is cooled, not heated.

MariettaO [177]
Power = Iω (constant) as they are connected together, since effort axle has large radius than resistance axle, so moment of inertia of effort axle is also more as compared to resistance axle, so angular speed of effort axle is less than the resistance axle. So answer is B. resistance axle  will have more angular speed as its moment of inertia is less for the same power.

Explain where you observe reflection, refraction, and absorption of light in your everyday activities
Studentka2010 [4]
Reflection: you look in the mirror.
Refraction: You put a straw in a glass of water, and it looks like it broke.
Absorption: If you have a black sweater and you wear it out in the cold, the black sweater is going to hold in heat better than a lighter sweater because the black sweater absorbs light .
