What three things play a role in convection?
Heat source, fluid density, and constraining factor (ie the glass for a glass of water, thermal gradient for the atmosphere) are three things that play a role in convection.
Is wind caused by convection?
Yes. Air rising in one place due to convection will cause air to move inwards from the surrounding air to replace it. Fundamentally though, wind is caused by a difference in air pressure from one place to another.
What is the role of molecular action in convection and conduction?
The role of molecular action in convection is the that molecules that are relative to one another create kinetic energy that is the end result. The role of molecular action in conduction is that molecules collide with one another to create a transfer of heat or energy.
What are examples of convection energy?
wind energy ,hydro energy,fossil fuels,wood etc.
What does free and forced convection mean?
Forced convection is when air ascends as a result of another force, such as the actions of fronts, orographic lifting, or converging wind. Free convection is caused by a factor such as intense heating of the Earth's surface, which warms air and causes it to rise.
What method of heat transfer plays the primary role in the formation of an air mass?
Convection is the main heat transfer in the troposphere.
What role do wind and ocean play in climate?
they effect the weather for how hot or how cold
Can fluctuation of wind cause a tornado?
Not directly. But changes in wind speed and direction in altitude, called wind shear, plays an important role in tornado formation.
Is it true that wind are examples of convection currents?
Not conduction, but convection currents, are what drive winds and many ocean currents.
What is wind an example of?
convection
What is wind and convection?
fffgfdgfgg
What is an example wind?
convection
What role does wind water or ice play in a delta formation?
ony water cause in the midle of the lairs of rock
Is wind considered a convection current?
yes. because the air move due to pressure and convection. the movement of air is wind.
Wind shear can result in the formation of a?
Wind shear can result in the formation of a tornado.
Does conduction make wind?
No. wind is primarily a result of convection.
What role does the fronts play in cloud formation?
the fronts play a role in the cloud formation like this . It takes the clouds to one place to another using wind and it can also help it by blowing the dust particles to meet the water droplets
