Which receives the most solar radiation the tropics the polar zones the oceans or the temperate zones?
Ocean
What happens when alka-seltzer and iodine are mixed?
What happens is that the purple stuff gets into a deep ocean trench through radiation and a mom.
What are the two ways that heat is distributed on earth?
Solar radiation is radiation heat transfer into the biosphere and trapped by plant to the form of chemical energy. The motion of air and gas in biosphere due to contact with cold or hot surface involve conduction and radiation. The wind carrying heat is convection.
What other forms of radiation may come from stars?
xray radiation and ultraviolet radiation
The rapid formation of many new species as in this case is called?
Adaptive Radiation :)
Do the oceans release solar radiation?
Yes, solar radiation warms the surface of the ocean. Warmth rises from the ocean in the form of infrared radiation.
Is the sun heating the Pacific Ocean an example of convection or radiation?
Radiation
Current transfer heat in the ocean by?
radiation
Is ocean waves electromagnetic radiation?
No.No.No.No.
What percentage of the ocean is the Atlantic Ocean?
The Atlantic Ocean receives 75% of sunlight due to the radiation toward the equator!!!!!
What are the effects of the japan earthquake on the pacific ocean?
There is really bad radiation!
Would you sense reflected or emitted electromagnetic radiation when measuring the temperature of the ocean's surface?
If you were to measure reflected radiation then you would be measuring the temperature of the source of light (the sun)! So you need to look at the emmited radiation (measured during the night) to guage the temperature of the ocean's surface.
How does nuclear radiation effect the ocean?
Nuclear radiation doesn't affect the ocean itself, but the animals that live there. Just like any living thing, if an ocean animal is exposed to high level of radiations it might develop mutations, and/or cancer, leading to a painful death.
How do convection currents transfer heat from the ocean to land?
by conduction radiation and convectoin
What is the natural way to detect radioactive radiation?
The ocean,the mountains,the air and our food all expose us to small ammounts of natural radiation.
What is it called when the sun transfers heat to the earth?
The sun transfers heat to the Earth through radiation - solar radiation.
How do currents heat in the ocean?
the radiation from the sun will send heat to the ocean and the heat would make currents hot Basically a convection current
