Why do convection currents stop us from being suffocated while sleeping?
Convection currents stop us from being suffocated when we are asleep in bed. Why?
What is the difference between convection and convection currents?
Convection is the mode of heat transfer, referring to the transfer of heat energy due to bulk motion of a fluid."Convection current" is the name of that bulk motion of the fluid, the transfer of MASS. I prefer to call it buoyantly driven flow. It doesn't flow due to convection, convection is due to if flowing. It flows due to buoyancy in the case of free convection.Peyton
Why convection cannot take place in solids?
because the process requires the formation of currents which is only possible in fluids (i.e solids and liquids). It is not possible for currents to develop in solids for the simple reason that the molecules in a solid are not free to move around and they are contained in their fixed positions.
What is the flow of thermal energy through a liquid or gas?
Some three types of heat transfers are convection, radiation and conduction.
What happens to particles during the process of convection?
The particles move around from one place to another through the flow of thermal energy during convection.
Where do convection currents flow through the earth?
The mantle called the asthenosphere
The driving forces of tectonic plates are related to convection currents in Earth's?
mantle.
Where do convection currents flow in Earth?
Convection currents are found in the plastic mantle in Earth.
What determines flow of heat?
Convection currents.
What determine the direction of heat flow?
Convection currents.
Is the heat source for the convection currents in the mantle for the sun?
The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.
Is heat source for the convection currents in the mantle the sun?
The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.
What is the name for heat flow currents?
There is convection, conduction, and radiation.
What is the importance of convection currents to pond life?
The convection currents move around oxygen and other good nutrients throughout the pond, where is is no other flow.
Is the heat source for the convection current in the mantle in the sun?
The difference in temperature and density is the cause of convection currents in the earths mantle. Convection currents are the flow that transfers heat within a fluid.
Direction of heat flow?
Convection currents.
Evidence of convection currents within the asthenosphere comes from?
heat flow values
