What are three ways energy is transferred from earth's surface to the atmosphere?
Conduction, convection and radiation.
The surface of the earth is warmed mainly by conduction or convection or radiation?
The Earth is warmed mainly by solar radiation. It is measured in kilowatt-hours per square meter per day. This is called incident solar radiation or insolation.
How do the three types of heat transfer work together to heat the troposphere?
Convection currents move many weather systems on the earth. Solar radiation warms the earth. The solids heat faster and air over the shore area rises. Cooler air over the water rushes in to replace it. Convection currents also occur in the oceans Air cools as it rises and clouds form.
What is the major direct source of heat in the troposphere?
The sun is the most useful cause for the heating of the troposphere
Does heat from the earths interior reaches earth through conduction?
Heat from the earth's interior reaches the surface through a combination of convection and conduction.
Is radiation convection or conduction involved when a lake freezes?
Lake freezes first at the surface is convection involved
What three processes transfer heat over earths surface?
Convection, radiation, and conduction
What are three ways energy is transferred from earth's surface to the atmosphere?
Conduction, convection and radiation.
Does the energy move from earths surface and atmosphere out of space through radiation conduction or convection?
conduction because there is more heat in space then there is in earth
How is earth atmosphere warmed evenly?
Energy is transferred between the earths surface and the atmosphere via conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transmitted through contact with neighboring molecules.
Is conduction convection or radiation the way in which the mantle circulates?
The way the mantle circulates is through the process of convection. It refers to the transfer of heat from the Earth's core to the surface.
An example of conduction convection and radiation working together?
a boiling pot because the stove radiates heat to warm the pot. the pot is touching the stove which is conduction. last when the pot is heated and boiling the steam is a form of convection. conduction could also be ice melting on a hot surface>
Heat can be transferred by what?
There are three ways in which heat can be transferred from one surface to another. These three ways are conduction, convection and radiation.
Is heating of air touching a hot surface conduction or convection?
convection
Is barbecuing radiation convection or conduction?
Barbecuing, depending on what specific process it is referring to, could be either radiation, convection, or conduction. Radiation is when energy is released in the form of a photon, so the flames of the barbecue (light energy) are a form of radiation. Conduction is when energy is transferred through contact, or collision, therefore, the things you are cooking on the barbecue, are being heated through conduction with the metal. Convection is when energy travels through energy-containing particles (other than photons), so the steam rising from the coals is convection currents.
How do conduction convection and radiation affect the movement and temperature of air near the ocean?
Conduction, convection and radiation affects the movement and temperature of air near the ocean. Conduction causes difference in temperatures. For example, during a hot day, land heats up more quickly than water. Water is a better conductor of heat. The air near the land's surface is heated due to conduction and radiation. It expands and rises since it is lighter than surrounding air. This is called convection. To replace the air that rose, the air from the sea's surface blows to land.
The surface of the earth is warmed mainly by conduction or convection or radiation?
The Earth is warmed mainly by solar radiation. It is measured in kilowatt-hours per square meter per day. This is called incident solar radiation or insolation.
