Were does the energy come from that evaporate water on the earth?
This is thermal radiation of the Sun.
What are the differences between nuclear and thermal energy?
Thermal energy is a quantity that can be measured in BTU or Calories. Heat transfer is just a method of transferring that energy from one place to another, or one part of a machine to another part. Heat transfer does not create any energy in itself.
How will the amount of thermal energy lost by hot water be related to the amount of thermal energy gained by cold water?
The energy lost by the hot water will be gained by the cold water until they both come to equal temperature. Then there will no longer be any heat transfer from hot to cold. I think the mathematical relationship is a natural log curve that asymptotically approaches the horizontal - meaning the cooling curve keeps getting less steep over time as the heat is exchanged
Where does the the heat come from that causes the convection of the earth?
Although year-to-year variations arise from thermal energy differences and other contributors such as tectonic uplift, the basic climatological structure of atmospheric circulation on the global scale remains at near-equilibrium conditions, as does the energy cycle through the Earth. Thus, the energy driving convection in the atmosphere was not created in isolation and does not act alone. Rather, Earth's energy cycle is a connected chain of energy transactions that is continuously running and driving downstream processes. Starting from the conversion of incoming solar flux into surface heat, geothermal energy, tidal energy, etc., each energy-requiring process pushes the next step in the sequence, and convection of air in the atmosphere is one of the links in the connected chain that was driven by previous steps and will drive subsequent steps. Therefore, convection in the atmosphere is not driven by any immediately identifiable energy source (since all contributing energy also came from elsewhere), but as a step in the flow of energy throughout the Earth connects into an interwoven energy cycle at steady-state conditions that fuels water circulation, material flow, biological processes, so on and so forth. Similarly, the circulation of ocean water is the sum of contributing variables such as breaking waves, wind, Coriolis force, temperature and salinity differences, and tides caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun, all of which are processes driven by other upstream processes. The interconnected energy cycle continues to run at steady-state conditions, with the cause and effects of upstream energy transactions adding up to the circulation process of ocean water.
Why does the temperature stay the same when melting?
The molecules in a solid are held by strong intermolecular bonds. For the solid to melt, these bonds have to be broken. Since energy is needed to break the intermolecular bonds, the thermal energy supplied at the melting point is used to do the work to break the intermolecular bonds between the molecules of the solid. Once the intermolecular bonds are broken, the molecules can then move out of their fixed positions. Hence it can then be said that the solid has melted, which is the change of state from solid to liquid. This explains why temperature remains constant during the melting phases.
Where does thermal energgy come from?
Thermal energy comes from sun. It is a source of heat energy.
When does a mid ocean ridge form?
It forms when the 2 plates converge or come apart
Where does the energy come from for the ocean food chain come from?
i think it's Ocean waves
Were does the energy come from that evaporate water on the earth?
This is thermal radiation of the Sun.
What does the earths internal thermal energy come from?
From radioactivity in the Earth's interior.
When a paper is burned what type of energy is that and where does it come from?
Chemical energy changes to thermal and radiant energy (heat and light).
How do you use thermal energy daily?
All energy sources come in two ways. One way is by something using the energy. The other way is by something producing the energy. We use thermal energy when we heat our homes with heaters. Microwaves and ovens use thermal energy. So do toasters.
Where does an ocean wave get its energy directly from?
It doesn't come all from one source. The energy come from wind, earth's rotation and ocean currents
Where does thermal energy come from when a fire fighter slides down a pole?
When a firefighter slides down a pole the thermal energy comes from the friction between the two objects.
Where does energy for chemosynthesis come from?
From Ocean Chemicals
How come you olny get a fraction light energy from the sun?
Some bounces off you and some turns into thermal energy.
What 3 energy transfers come a burning candle?
Three main things come from a burning candle: light, heat, Thermal energy x
