What does the earths internal thermal energy come from?
From radioactivity in the Earth's interior.
What does the absorption of thermal energy from the ground do to earths surface?
The absorption of thermal energy from the ground heats the lower atmosphere and keeps Earth's surface much warmer than it would if there were no atmosphere. :)
What is the energy exchange between space the atmosphere and earths surface produce?
weather and climate
Why is climate is affected by large bodies of water?
The capacity of water to store heat energy.
How does the ocean help keep earths climate mild?
The oceans can store a great amount of heat energy. That is why most places along the coast have a milder climate that further inland.
How does your bodies use thermal energy?
Human bodies use thermal energy in various ways. The most common way is by ensuring that our bodies have the right temperature at all times.
What does heat energy mean?
Hot bodies contain thermal energy, this is measured in calories or BTU
How do you use thermal energy?
people use thermal energy to cook and heat our bodies and for hot air balloons
What does the earths internal thermal energy come from?
From radioactivity in the Earth's interior.
What layer of the earths structure produces the greatest amount of thermal energy?
the mantle
What provieds energy for earths water cycle?
Sun provides energy for earth's water cycle. It provides thermal energy for evaporation.
What direction does thermal energy flow?
Thermal Energy always transfer from the higher temperature to lower temperature until both bodies reach the same temperature or in thermal equilibrium with each other.
Is the earths formation a source of thermal energy?
Much of the Earth's heat was leftover when the planet was formed
What does the absorption of thermal energy from the ground do to earths surface?
The absorption of thermal energy from the ground heats the lower atmosphere and keeps Earth's surface much warmer than it would if there were no atmosphere. :)
Difference between heat energy and internal thermal energy?
Heat is thermal energy in transit. This process is carried out naturally between two material systems which are at different temperatures.Thermal energy is the energy of a body(or material system) has due to the movement of its particles.In other words, "bodies do not have heat, they have thermal energy".CommentThe term, 'thermal energy' is obsolete; it is now called 'internal energy'.
What is the energy exchange between space the atmosphere and earths surface produce?
weather and climate
Energy transferred as heat ocurres between two bodies in thermal contact when they difffer in?
temperature
