Convection is the transfer of heat from one place to another via the movement of fluids. It happens from higher energy level to lower energy level to bring equilibrium to the system.

For vertical set up , if the hot water is places on top of cold water, direction of convection will be from top to bottom. So, gravity can play a role in increasing the rate of flow of energy. if the cold water is places on top of hot water, direction of convection will be from bottom to top. So, gravity can play a role in decreasing the rate of flow of energy.

for Horizontal set up, when hot and cold water are placed side by side, gravity will not playing a role in the flow of energy.So, the position of hot or cold water would not matter.

OLga [1]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Larger pulse with more energy means that the wave has large amplitude. As in the given question, both the waves are travelling in the same medium, hence their speeds will remain same and therefore the larger pulse will not overtake the smaller pulse. Remember the amplitude of a wave does not affect the speed at which the wave travels

The wind direction changed from morning to night because land and water absorbing solar energy unequally.

<h3>Convection current</h3>

Convection is said to occur when there is heat transfer by an actual movement of participles from place to place. The movement of air mass (wind) is affected by the relative amounts of solar energy absorbed by the land and sea.

Hence, the wind direction changed from morning to night because land and water absorbing solar energy unequally.
