Why don't all places on the earth receive the same amount of direct sunlight?
because, the world is round
Why is weather different in different places?
because of the sun since every place get different amount of heat and light from the sun and also because the earth is rotating
Why does heat loss vary all over the earth?
Heat loss vary all over the earth because different parts of the earth have receive different temperatures. Heat leaves hot places quicker than colder places.
How does ocean termal energy work?
It isn't quite clear what you mean with "work". There is a lot of thermal energy in the oceans; but most of that energy can't be used - can't be converted to useful energy. To use thermal energy - to convert it to something useful - there has to be a temperature difference between different places.
What is geothermal energy and hydrothermal energy?
Geothermal energy is energy produced using the heat from under the earth.Hydrothermal is energy produced by using the different temperatures of water. Places in the Tropics with warm surface water but also deep cold water are most suitable.Both geothermal and hydrothermal are renewable and clean.
What factors influence the amount of energy that different places on earth receives from the sun?
The main factor that influences the amount of energy that different places on Earth receive from the sun is the places location. The closer it is to the equator the more sun energy it will receive.
What is the amount of sunlight in freshwater biomes?
The amount of sunlight that can be found in a freshwater biome varies. Some of these biomes receive more sunlight than others.
Is there a device where you could send an amount of electricity to different places and increase the power being sent?
electric generator is a device which can send amount of electricity to different places
Not all places on the earth receive the same amount of direct sunlight because of?
the tilt of the earths axis
Why don't all places on the earth receive the same amount of direct sunlight?
because, the world is round
Which three things determine the amount of solar energy reaching places on earth?
Three things that determine the amount of solar energy reaching places on earth are season, solar flares, and the presence of the ozone. Solar panel are a clean source of electricity
Does it rain the same amount everywhere in the United states?
No. There are different rain amounts for the different places in the US.
What causes the average temps of land water at the same latitude?
The reason places at the same latitude tend to be around the same temperature is because the duration and angle of the sun are the same. Places at the same latitude receive about the same amount amount of radiation.
How are energy and power different?
Energy is an amount of the ability to do work, or of the work done. It does not have a time element. Power is the rate of expenditure of energy, it is an amount of energy per second, or other unit of time. In the SI system, energy is measured in Joules and power in Watts. In the footpound system often used in the US, but superseded by SI in most other places, energy is in units of ft.lbforce or BTU, whilst power is in horsepower.In electrical engineering, power is in Watts or Kilowatts or Megawatts, to get an amount of energy over a period of time you generally introduce an hour as the unit, so that electrical energy is in kilowatt.hours, or other multiples depending on the application.
Energy can be transferred between objects and places through many different methods what forms of energy transfer can involve energy transfer across vacuums?
radiation! :)
Are all places among the equator very warm and why?
Because of the Earth's positioning and tilt on its axis, the places on equator receive much sunlight, hence hotter, although not longest amount of time with sunlight.
Suggest reasons Why do different types of energy varies globally?
Different places around the globe have different advantages for producing energy for example flat land can be used for nuclear factories or rivers can be used for HEP
