How does heat get distributed in the atmosphere and the ocean?
the atmosphere and the ocean waters heat up through an interesting process called convection
Why does the ocean heat and cool more slowly than the atmosphere?
The ocean has a higher heat capacity.
How does heat transfer help to setup a hurricane?
Evaporation from warm ocean water transfers latent heat from the ocean into the atmosphere, and this is released when the moisture rises and condenses out into clouds and precipitation.
Types of interactions between earth's hydrosphere and atmosphere?
Evaporation, heat transfer, matter transfer, and a lowering of condensation are the types of interactions between Earth's hydrosphere and atmosphere.
What is the relationship between heat flow and seafloor elevation and why?
Heat Flow is a measure of the amount of heat leaving the rocks of the lithosphere, while seafloor a seabed in the bottom of the ocean. Because all the heat leaves the rocks when at the bottom of an ocean :)
Is there any heat exchange between object and the surrounding atmosphere?
As long as the body and the surrounding atmosphere are at different temperatures, there will be heat transfer between the two.
Why is the ocean important to earth?
because heat exchange between the oceans and atmosphere drive atmospheric circulation ove the entire planet modify air temperatures.

Why does the ocean heat and cool more slowly than the atmosphere?
The ocean has a higher heat capacity.
How can SST distribution affect weather?
Interaction between the atmosphere and ocean occur at the surface and result in the transfer of heat and moisture.
What gives of the most heat the sun the moon the ocean or the atmosphere?
the sun
What method of heat transfer plays a central role in transferring heat energy within the atmosphere and the ocean?
Convection does.
The method of heat transfer that plays a central role in transferring heat energy within the atmosphere and the ocean is?
convection
Is a result of the specific heat differences between land and ocean?
Breezes are created when there are specific heat differences between land and ocean.
Why is that there is a faster build-up of heat in the Arctic Ocean?
because there is less atmosphere in the Arctic
What creates the heat while a space shuttle is leaving the atmosphere?
In the exosphere, Friction between the atmosphere and the shuttle creates the heat.
How does heat transfer help to setup a hurricane?
Evaporation from warm ocean water transfers latent heat from the ocean into the atmosphere, and this is released when the moisture rises and condenses out into clouds and precipitation.
