What is transfer of heat by currents of air or water?
convection
What is the transfer of heat by currents of air or water?
convection
What are moving currents of fluid that transfer heat?
Convection
Heat transfer by movement of currents in the fluid?
true
What impact do ocean currents have on the transfer of energy and climate?
ocean currents transfer energy and climate through the sun and the ocean tide. they also transfer heat and oxygen through water currents.
Which process do air currents transfer heat energy throughout the room?
convection
What is the main way heat is transfer in the troposphere?
Convection Currents
The transfer of what form of energy leads to convection currents?
Heat Energy
What process allows the plates to move?
convection currents and heat transfer
What are the convection currents?
Convection currents transfer heat from one place to another by mass motion of a fluid such as water, air or molten rock. The heat transfer function of convection currents drives the earth's ocean currents, atmospheric weather and geology. Convection is different from conduction, which is a transfer of heat between substances in direct contact with each other.
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.
How do convection currents transfer heat from the ocean to land?
by conduction radiation and convectoin
