What causes liquid in thermometer to travel up and down in tube?
Heat causes Mercury in the thermometer to expand, where as when it is cooled, it contracts.
How does a glass thermometer works?
As the liquid in the thermometer is heated it expands, and the only way the expanding liquid can go is upward. As the liquid in the thermometer cools, it will contract, and the liquid will fall back down into the resevoir, causing the column of liquid to move downward.
How does a volume gas thermometer owrk?
Gases expand or contract when heated or cooled. The main part of the thermometer has a 'large' bulb containing a gas connected by a hose to a tube filled with liquid. The expansion or contraction of the gas causes the liquid level to move this indicates the temperature.
The process that causes liquid rock to move is called?
Convection causes liquid rock to move.
What happens to the liquid particles in a thermometer when it is heated?
They expand causing them to move in the only direction available, up the thermometer.
Why doesn't the liquid in the thermometer move when you turn it upside down?
Because it doesn't.
What happens when you heat up a liquid particle?
No, heating a liquid makes it's particles move farther apart (makes the liquid expand). This is most readily observed in an old glass thermometer. As your temperature goes up (as you heat the liquid in the thermometer), the liquid inside expands and travels up the thermometer.
Why does the liquid in thermometer go up the tube when it gets hotter?
Heat causes mercury in the thermometer to expand, where as when it is cooled, it contracts.
What is the liquid in thermometer's called?
Mercury the liquid inside thermometer is mercury.. but it is called thermometric liquid.
What is a process that causes liquid rock to move?
convection :)
What is liquid-in-glass thermometer?
what do they use for the liquid in glass ball thermometer
Why does the thermometer go down when cooled?
The cold reduces the temperature in the liquid inside the thermometer bulb. Most substances contract when their temperature drops so the liquid in the bulb occupies less space. this causes the column of liquid outside the bulb to become smaller.
