Why earth is heated by the sun through radiation and not by convection or conduction?
The space between Earth and the Sun is mostly empty (emptier than most vacuums in Earth laboratories, in any case).Convection and conduction require the presence of atoms.
When the heated part of the mantle rises through the cooler parts this an example of?
Convection
Explain two ways that earths atmosphere gets heated?
by convection and conduction
What will happen to the convection currents in the mantle if earth's interior cools down?
Convection currents are transferring heat to the surface through the movement of mantle rock. If the interior of the planet cools, the mantle rock would be too solid to move, and there would be no heat to transfer.
Current consists of air or a liquid moving in a circular path as it is heated and cooled?
Convection current Convection current
How convection happens?
Convection happens due to the transfer of heat by the motion of a heated fluid such as air or water.
Can you use convection in a sentence?
It was heated by convection currents
Why earth is heated by the sun through radiation and not by convection or conduction?
The space between Earth and the Sun is mostly empty (emptier than most vacuums in Earth laboratories, in any case).Convection and conduction require the presence of atoms.
Why does the Earth's crust move on top of the magma when getting heated by the earth's core?
Convection currents move the magma around in circles up and down as it gets cooled and heated. And the plates move on top of them.
What is the movement in both the Earth's engines of heated material upward and cooled material downward an example of?
convection current
Is the land heated by convection?
I think the land is heated by radiation
How does convection affect a stir fry?
Food is heated by conduction and convection.
Heat transfer by the movement of a heated fluid is called?
It is called Convection.
When the heated part of the mantle rises through the cooler parts this an example of?
Convection
How is the troposphere heated?
The process of the troposphere is that the lower layer (which is this one) is heated by the sun that the heat comes from the upper layers. Also the troposphere is the atmosphere we live in the weather in other words. Which is 0-10km.
Compare and contrast conduction and convection?
convection means when something is heated it expands or conducts eg. metal is heated it contracts when it is cooled it contracts.
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>
