How does energy from Earth’s interior affect surface changes?

2 answers:

6 0

Earth's rotation influences global flow of air and water. 2.3 Earth's weather and climate are mostly driven by energy from the Sun. For example, unequal warming of Earth's surface and atmosphere by the Sun drives convection within the atmosphere, producing winds, and influencing ocean currents.

Answer:

Energy produced deep inside Earth heats rock in the mantle. ... As it becomes less dense, the heated rock rises toward Earth's surface. The cooler, denser rock surrounding the heated rock sinks, as Figure 5 shows. In this way, heat inside Earth moves toward the cooler crust.

What is the purpose of the lateral line

artcher [175]

The lateral line is a system of sense organs found in aquatic vertebrates, used to detect movement, vibration, and pressure gradients in the surrounding water. ... For example, fish can use their lateral line system to follow the vortices produced by fleeing prey

A 110 g copper bowl contains 240 g of water, both at 21.0°C. A very hot 410 g copper cylinder is dropped into the water, causing

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

There is 98.76 kJ energy transfered to the water as heat.

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of copper bowl = 110 grams

Mass of water = 240 grams

Temperature of water and copper = 21.0 °C

Mass of the hot copper cylinder = 410 grams

8.6 grams being converted to steam

Final temperature = 100 °C

Step 2: Calculate the energy gained by the water:

Q = m(water)*C(water)*ΔT + m(vapor)*Lw

⇒with mass of water = 0.240 kg

⇒ with C(water) = the heat capacity of water = 4184 J/kg°C

⇒ with ΔT = the change in temperature = T2 - T1 = 100 °C - 21.0 = 79°C

⇒ with mass of vapor = 8.60 grams = 0.0086 kg

⇒ with Lw = The latent heat of vaporization (water to steam) = 22.6 *10^5 J/kg

Q = 0.24kg * 4184 J/kg°C *79°C + 0.0086 kg*22.6*10^5 J/kg

Q = 79328.64 + 19436 = 98764.64 J = 98.76 kJ

There is 98.76 kJ energy transfered to the water as heat.

Function of leaf in points

klasskru [66]

Explanation:

The main function of a leaf is to produce food for the plant by photosynthesis. Chlorophyll, the substance that gives plants their characteristic green colour, absorbs light energy.

Photosynthesis.

Transpiration.

Guttation.
Storage.

Defense.

I will be describing what each of these do to the plant.

Photosynthesis: Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities.
Transpiration: Transpiration is the process of water movement through a plant and its evaporation from aerial parts, such as leaves, stems and flowers. Water is necessary for plants but only a small amount of water taken up by the roots is used for growth and metabolism. The remaining 97–99.5% is lost by transpiration and guttation.
Guttation: Guttation is the exudation of drops of xylem sap on the tips or edges of leaves of some vascular plants, such as grasses, and a number of fungi. Guttation is not to be confused with dew, which condenses from the atmosphere onto the plant surface. Guttation generally happens during the night time.
Storage: A storage organ is a part of a plant specifically modified for storage of energy (generally in the form of carbohydrates) or water. Storage organs often grow underground, where they are better protected from attack by herbivores.
Defense: The first line of defense in plants is an intact and impenetrable barrier composed of bark and a waxy cuticle. Both protect plants against herbivores. Other adaptations against herbivores include hard shells, thorns (modified branches), and spines (modified leaves).

Hope this helps!
