Thermal insulation hinders the loss of heat energy. Clothing acts as thermal insulation for human bodies. In buildings, these materials are often used as thermal insulation: plant straw, wood fiber, cellulose, polystyrene, vermiculite, urethane foam, perlite, recycled cotton denim.

∙ 13y agoA thermal insulator is any material that is poor at transferring heat. Very poor heat conductors can work as very good thermal insulators. during the process of heat transfer a single atom that is nearest to the heat source absorbs heat and starts vibrating it then transfers kinetic energy to the neighbouring atom which also starts vibrating and also gains heat energy ,the process then continues until the last atom is heated up.For insulators the rate of transfer of vibrations is very slow with respect to the time needed for the insulator to keep the heat and there fore almost neglected.
A vaccum has so far been the best insulator and mostly used for food staffs preservation in many homes all over the world.

Which connective tissue insulates against heat loss?
The Adipose Connective Tissue insulates against heat loss and provides reserve fuel.
What is an insulator of electricity?
a insulator of electricity is a material that insulates, especialy a nonconuctor of sound,heat,or electricity.
What sentence can you make with insulates?
Here are some sentences.This fiber insulates the roof.The quilt insulates you from the cold.
Is evaporation heat gain or heat loss?
For what?It requires a heat gain for the water,but a heat loss for whatever the water is in contact with.
Describe a method of insulation that can completely eliminate heat loss by conduction?
Installing fiberglass batting will completely eliminate heat loss.
Which connective tissue insulates against heat loss?
The Adipose Connective Tissue insulates against heat loss and provides reserve fuel.
Insulates against heat loss provides reserve fuel?
Subcutaneous fat deposits.
What type of connective tissue insulates against heat loss?
Adipose tissue (fat) acts as an insulator.
How does double glazing reduce energy loss?
It insulates the window and keeps heat in.
Fat is the most concentrated form of --- and insulates the body from heat loss?
Energy.
Fat is the most concentrated form of and insulates the body from heat loss?
energy
Why do you need leaves to survive in the wilderness?
It creates a "cushion of air" which insulates you from the ground. This prevents heat loss due to conduction.
What is thermal resistivity of soils?
Resistivity is the opposite of conductivity. The thermal resistivity of soil is the degree to which soil impedes the flow of heat, or insulates against heat.
How do animals store heat in their body?
they have special bodyparts to let them store heat like human.
How does a sheep keep cool in summer?
The sheep's wool insulates against heat as well as against cold. If you shear sheep and put them out into hot direct sun they suffer sunstroke.
What insulates heat good?
A lack thereof is best. A vacum does not transfer heat.
Fat is the most concentrated form of what and insulates the body from heat loss?
Fat is not actually concentrated. It is absorbed from food or formed within the body by excessive carbohydrates. It is regarded concentrated because of its capability to store high amounts of energy and this energy prevents the heat loss from the body by helping in the metabolism.
