because of the convection current. The sun heat unevenly and when it warm the air and water rises and when it cold the water and air sinks. I know This is from California Earth Science G.6 :P

What is the name for thermal energy that is transfered only from a higher temperature to a lower temperature?
All thermal energy flows from high temperature objects to low temperature objects. This is the nature of thermal energy.
Has thermal energy been transfered into or out of a substance if the average kinetic energy changes?
Temperature is a measure of the average KE of the PARTICLES of a substance. So if the temperature changes, ave KE changes, thus thermal energy will have been transferred.
How can nuclear fission generate electrical power?
Nuclear fission process results in thermal energy production (this due to mass difference before and after of fission). This thermal energy is transferred to reactor coolant system. Then the thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy through turbines. The mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy through electric generators.
Transfer of energy as heat through a material?
Thermal Conduction
Which energy increases as temperature increases?
The thermal energy.The thermal energy.The thermal energy.The thermal energy.
Energy transfered as heat through a material is called?
Thermal Conductance, measured by [Watts/(meter x Kelvin)].
What is the thermal energy that is transferred?
Thermal energy can be transfered with three ways Conduction,Convection Radiation
How is thermal energy transferred on Earth's surface?
By the hydrosphere.
Why doesn't all of the gas in a car get transfered to mechanical energy?
Isn't it because some of the energy gets transfered to thermal energy?
What energy can be transformed to kinetic chemical electrical or thermal energy?
It is transfered by energy mixing with potetial energyIt is transfered by energy mixing with potetial energy
What is the thermal energy that's transfers?
Thermal energy can be transfered with three ways Conduction,Convection Radiation
Can kinetic energy create thermal energy?
Yes and no. Kinetic is transfered to thermal all the time with friction. Sound and heat (thermal energy) are the usual outcomes. Be careful about using create, as the law of conservation of energy states the energy is transfered not created or destroyed.
What is chemical energy transformed to?
It could be transfered to sound, thermal, and potential energy.
How is thermal energy transfered in Earth?
I hate Robyn Turner
What can happen to energy that cannot be destroyed and its not used to do work?
it is transfered or turned into waste thermal energy
When thermal energy is transfered from the stove to a pot during cooking this is an example of what?
radiation
How is thermal energy transfered list 3 ways?
conduction,convection, andradiation
