What else can I help you with?
Because oceans gain and lose heat slowly they help keep temperatures what near coasts?
high
What happens to some of the heat from the oceans lakes and streams?
it gose to the sun lol
Which property of oceans best explains why they have a major effect on climate?
The high heat capacity of oceans allows them to absorb and store large amounts of heat energy from the sun. This stored heat is released slowly over time, impacting atmospheric temperatures and influencing climate patterns globally.
Where does evaporation happen in nature?
Evaporation happens in nature wherever there is water exposed to air, such as lakes, rivers, oceans, and even puddles. The sun's heat causes water molecules at the surface to gain enough energy to escape into the air as water vapor.
Do continents or oceans heat and cool faster?
Continents generally heat and cool faster than oceans due to differences in their heat capacity. Oceans have a higher heat capacity because water can store more heat than land, so they heat up and cool down more slowly. This is why coastal areas typically experience more moderate temperatures compared to inland regions.
Why is the ocean the earth's thermostat?
Too much extra heat, the oceans's absorb it because of the energy required to heat water by the same amount of temperature. Too little heat, and the opposite happens.
Why happens when you add salt to very cold ice?
Salt release slowly the heat of dissolution and the temperature is increased.
What happens if you spill water on wires?
its either the water gain heat (water becomes hotter) or will produce fire.
How do the oceans moderate Earth's temperature?
Oceans moderate Earth's temperature by absorbing and storing heat from the Sun during the day and releasing it slowly at night, creating a more stable climate. The vast volume of water in the oceans also helps distribute heat around the planet through ocean currents, regulating temperatures globally. Additionally, water has a high specific heat capacity, meaning it can absorb a lot of heat before its temperature changes significantly, which helps to regulate the Earth's overall temperature.
What happens after a medium mass star becomes a white dwarf?
Nothing. It will just slowly and I mean very slowly, emit heat back into space. This will take billions and billions of years. After it has cooled to a point where no heat is emitted into space it will become a black dwarf.
Why do liquids retain their teperature in a thermos?
substances cool as they lose heat energy, and get warmer as they gain heat energy. A thermos is an insulated container which opposes the movement of heat, thus hot liquids lose heat to the cooler outside more slowly and stay hotter for longer and cold liquids gain heat from the outside more slowly and stay colder for longer.
What will cause heat to flow slowly?
Interatomic separation causes heat to flow slowly. As there will be time involved in transferring heat at a gap.
