What 2 processes transport Earths energy surpluses poleward from the tropics?
Wind and water. Air currents (wind) carry heat poleward. This is mainly heat transfer by convection. Water currents carry heat poleward. This is heat transfer by convection and conduction.
What gas causes the ice to melt?
Gas does not directly cause Ice to melt. However if you are talking about glaciers then the gas Carbon Dioxide (CO2) causes the earths atmosphere to heat up (because it traps more of the Sun's heat) and this causes glaciers to melt - because the Earths climate is hotter.
How is earths climate affected by major volcanic eruptions?
The ashes that the volcano produces filters the sunlight of the sun. The lava in certain spots of the underground helps to regulate the heat of the earth and the ocean's temperature.
What are 2 natural events that can impact the worlds climate?
Well there more than two, but examples include an asteroid impact and a volcanic eruption. Both have a history of spewing tons of ash dirt and debris into the air, reflecting the Suns rays, diminishing heat, in consequence affecting the Earths climate.
How does heat transfer from the mantle relate to the movement of earths crust?
This heat transfer happens by convection.
How does the ocean help keep earths climate mild?
The oceans can store a great amount of heat energy. That is why most places along the coast have a milder climate that further inland.
How do you use earths heat?
we used the earths heat for gloderal wornng
What are the increasing greenhouse gases doing to the earths overall climate?
They are changing the climate. The increasing greenhouse gases are causing global warming, which is making the climate change. More heat is melting ice and raising sea levels. More heat is adding extra energy to storms. More heat is drying crop lands and causing famine.

Another name for heat radiation?
INFRARED RADIATION is also referred to as Heat Radiation.
What gas causes the ice to melt?
Gas does not directly cause Ice to melt. However if you are talking about glaciers then the gas Carbon Dioxide (CO2) causes the earths atmosphere to heat up (because it traps more of the Sun's heat) and this causes glaciers to melt - because the Earths climate is hotter.
How does conduction and convection relate?
conduction, heat transport by direct contactconvection, heat transport by mass movement driven by density changes with temperatureradiation, heat transport by electromagnetic radiation
Where does volcano get their heat from?
The earths core.
What is the earths heat sources?
Sun
What is earths heat source?
The sun
How do changes in heat energy affect the density of earths mantle material?
How do changes in heat energy affect the density of earths mantle material
How is earths climate affected by major volcanic eruptions?
The ashes that the volcano produces filters the sunlight of the sun. The lava in certain spots of the underground helps to regulate the heat of the earth and the ocean's temperature.
