Convection currents carry thermal energy from the sun to Earth?
No. Convection requires a medium to carry thermal energy from one place to another. There is no or not enough of any material in space to accomplish this. Radiation will carry thermal energy from the sun to the Earth.
What kind of energy is geothermal energy?
Geothermal energy is thermal energy that is made and stored in the Earth. Thermal energy determines the temperature of things. Geothermal energy can be used for electricity.
How is thermal energy transferred on Earth's surface?
By the hydrosphere.
Density changes in the asthenosphere are caused by the flow of what energy from deep within the earth?
a giant comes and transfers energy into the asthenosphere by getting inside a toyota and riding it the earth and he goes so fast that he creates energy and then he putts all the energy in a body bad and sprinkles it all over the earth like if it were sprinkles on ice cream.
What does the earths internal thermal energy come from?
From radioactivity in the Earth's interior.
What factor combines with thermal energy and its uneven distribution across the earth's surface to cause a change un the state of the earth's atmosphere?
Water vapor.
Were is the most thermal energy?
On Earth, the greatest source of thermal energy would be at the earth's core.
Why must it be the sun that provides thermal energy to the earth?
Sun provides heat to earth's surface. It provides thermal energy to the earth.
Does a falling objects thermal energy change to kinetic energy?
Yes, I believe so. As it gains upward momentum it is using thermal energy, and when it stops, and falls with gravity back to earth it is using kinetic energy. I think that's right.
Is thermal energy required to form tornadoes?
Yes. All storms on earth are driven by thermal energy.
How do use the word thermal energy in a sentence?
We studied about Thermal Energy in my Science class. The sum of the kinetic and potential energy of all the molecules in an object is the thermal energy. Thermal energy is a form of energy that can be used in some places. I think I can save money by using thermal energy from the earth.
Where is thermal energy made?
thermal energy is made in numerous places, such as the earth's core, your body and space heaters. any where you feel heat is giving off thermal energy.
Disadvantages of thermal energy?
There are many disadvantages to using thermal energy including the cost. It is very expensive to harvest thermal energy from many feet below Earth's surface.
Convection currents carry thermal energy from the sun to Earth?
No. Convection requires a medium to carry thermal energy from one place to another. There is no or not enough of any material in space to accomplish this. Radiation will carry thermal energy from the sun to the Earth.
What kind of energy is geothermal energy?
Geothermal energy is thermal energy that is made and stored in the Earth. Thermal energy determines the temperature of things. Geothermal energy can be used for electricity.
What is energy created when the earth is heated?
geothermal energy or just simply thermal energy
How is thermal energy transferred on Earth's surface?
By the hydrosphere.
