What is the ultimate source of the heat energy that causes the winds you feel?
The Heat Cycle
What would happen to the global winds if no more heat energy reached earth?
We would lose heat and have more energy
What is the overall effects of winds on earth?
They transfer energy as heat from equatorial regions to high latitudes
When winds generally flow away from the equator and towards the poles what transfer of wind does this cause?
an energy transfer, with heat energy moving away from the equator
How does specific heat affect local winds?
Specific heat refers to the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of a substance. In the context of local winds, specific heat affects the temperature of the land and water. Land has a lower specific heat compared to water, meaning it heats up and cools down faster. This difference in specific heat causes differential heating, leading to temperature differences and the formation of local wind patterns such as sea breezes and land breezes.
Who invented wind energy?
Heat energy from the Sun causes the variety of weather patterns responsible for creating winds, including "prevailing" winds which are used for locating and powering wind generator "farms."
Winds transfer heat energy by what method of heat transfer?
convection
What would happen to global winds if there was no more heat energy reached earth?
no more winds and we'd lose heat
What is the ultimate source of the heat energy that causes the winds you feel?
The Heat Cycle
Can you give examples of how the atmosphere moves heat energy around?
The heat energy is moved around by the suttle atmosphere winds
What would happen to the global winds if no more heat energy reached earth?
We would lose heat and have more energy
What is the ultimate source of the heat energy that causes the winds we feel?
The Sun!
How does temperature affect energy?
Thermal energy is heat. More heat is more thermal energy.
Factors affect the heat in the appliances?
there are lots of factors that affect heat one of it are the mechanical and thermal energy and other forms of energy
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
What are the harmful effect of heat energy?
Heat energy can cause explosions. It can also affect the skin.
Can you slow down a hurricane with heat?
As far as I know, you can not. Why? Because, a hurricane draws its energy from the heated water when it goes over Atlantic Ocean, pushed by the Prevailing Winds. Once it gets over the land, it loses much of it's ferocity and slowly disbands.
