What else can I help you with?
The horizontal transport of any atmospheric property by the wind is called?
Advection. It refers to the movement of air, heat, moisture, or other atmospheric properties in a horizontal direction by the wind.
Does transport of heat contribut to earth's climate?
Yes, the transport of heat plays a significant role in Earth's climate. Heat is transported through various mechanisms such as ocean currents, atmospheric circulation, and the water cycle, which help distribute heat around the planet. This redistribution of heat influences weather patterns, precipitation, and ultimately the climatic conditions of different regions on Earth.
Is heat flow the same between the continental and oceanic crust?
Apparently No, heat flow in oceanic crust is higher than continental crust
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
Is using air circulations to cook food conduction?
No, it would be convection: because the energy is circulating, due to heat differential (convecting), through the air.
What atmospheric gases help to heat the earth?
The atmospheric gases carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide are all greenhouse gases that help to heat the Earth.
What is a sentence with heat mesosphere?
The heat that mesosphere generates is immense. Mesosphere is a layer in atmospheric region.
How does the warming effect of the 250 plus underwater thermal vents compare to atmospheric factors?
Heat flow studies of the seafloor suggest that basalts within the oceanic crust take millions of years to completely cool as they continue to support passive hydrothermal circulation systems.
What factors are responsible for the formation of oceanic patterns?
Heat and energy from low lattitudes
What happens when a plate of oceanic crust collides with a plate of oceanic crust?
The oceanic plate is made of denser (and thinner) rock than the continental crust, so the oceanic plate gets subducted (pushed underneath) where it descends and gets melted by geothermal heat.
Heat and moisture are distributed around Earth by and hellip?
Heat and moisture are distributed around Earth through processes like evaporation, convection, and atmospheric circulation. The Sun's energy drives evaporation of water from the surface, which then rises and condenses to form clouds. Winds and ocean currents help transport heat and moisture to different regions of the planet.
What moves heat around the globe?
Ocean currents and atmospheric circulation are primarily responsible for moving heat around the globe. These systems transport warm air and water from the equator towards the poles, redistributing heat and energy across different regions of the Earth.
