How his thermal energy transferred from one to another by convection?
Convection currents occur in liquid. Heat excites the matter near the source and causes it to rise, making nearby matter rush in to fill the space. Then that matter is heated, rises, and so on. A good example of this is the Earth's mantle: heat from the core is dispersed by convection currents.
What happens to energy in heat flow?
Energy transfers from one object to another. It supplies heat to nearby objects.
What is gravitaional potential energy related too?
Mass, and its distance from a nearby massive body.
How does the focal length of the lens change when you sift looking from a distant object to nearby object?
The focal length of the lens can be changed by the ciliary muscles in the eye due to which we can shift looking from a distant object to nearby object .
How is wind energy havested?
Wind energy is harvested by a windmill. It is also called a turbine. Windmills have been connected to machinery to grind grain or pump water. They are also connected to electric generators. The electricity is sent to a grid. Sometimes the electricity is used as it is produced. If a hydroelectric dam is nearby, the electricity can be used to back pump water and then hydroelectric energy is available when it is needed. That way wind energy is stored.
What happens to electricity not used from a generator?
As far as I know, all generators produce a voltage. If there is nothing connected across it, then no energy is produced. If there is some kind of load connected to it, then electrical energy flows into the load. Any energy that is wasted by the generator itself, the transmission lines, or the load itself changes into heat energy. It might depend on the generator, though. I guess some might need to be "on" at all times to run properly. Although the turbines don't need to put out energy all the time, a nuclear power plant does produce thermal energy at all times that it is on. In that case, they'd have a big load nearby to use the otherwise wasted energy in. The best case would be to put that waste energy to use, in a nearby desalination plant or refinery, for instance.
What is a sentence using the word produce?
Farms in Ventura County produce millions of lemons each year. Thanks to the nearby farms, our store's produce is always fresh.

Thunder striking in sea is absorbed by salt in water or not?
Lightning striking the water can penetrate down and kill fish nearby. Most bodies of water ,including a pond would absorb the energy. The salt does not matter.

Energy transfers from one object to another. It supplies heat to nearby objects.
Will a black hole ever stop consuming things?
Yes. A black hole will stop consuming matter if there is no matter nearby to consume.
Why is the strength of gravity higher in nearby rocks?
All energy and matter (which are the same thing) makes the fabric of spacetime curve. The curvature of spacetime is what we interpret as gravity. Therefore all material things attract each other by gravity. Rocks are matter. --- All matter attracts other matter. The force of gravity increases with the total mass and decreases inversely with distance. Dense, heavy objects will have more mass, and those nearby have a greater local gravitation than less dense matter or matter farther away. But the Earth is so much larger than any collection of rocks that the gravity of the rocks is negligible by comparison.
Dark matter can be detected by its?
Dark matter can be detected by its gravitational effect on nearby stars, causing them to very slightly alter their relative motions.
What is gravitaional potential energy related too?
Mass, and its distance from a nearby massive body.
Why did over 3 million albanians live outside of Albania in nearby countries?
The borders of the countries changed and for others, they moved.

How heat energy travels?
As an electromagnetic wave (infra red radiation)As vibrations in molecules hitting each other and passing on the energy to nearby molecules.
