What retains heat?
Any object will "try" to retain heat energy. The material determines how well it will accomplish this. For example, metal is a good conductor, so a sheet of metal will not retain heat very well. Air, or the other hard, is a bad conductor, so fiberglass insolation (will it's many air pockets) will tend to retain heat for some time.
Why does a metal screw make a potato Cook faster?
the metal spikes are conductors so the heat travels through them and because the spikes are in the middle of the potatoes, the heat travels to the middle of them and helps the potatoes heat up.Metal is a conductor of heat, the spikes will bring the heat to the center of the potato and cook faster than if they were not spiked.
Why did potatoes grow so well in the high altitudes of Peru?
Why potatoes grow so well on the high altitudes of peru? I don't know why potatoes grow so well in the high altitudes of peru and I think they gro so well everybody can eat the food right
Why does high specific heat of water make it essential to life?
The high specific heat allows water to act as a heat sink. Water will retain its temperature after absorbing large amount of heat and retain its temperature after losing equally large amount of heat. So water is essential for life.
What are the Best potatoes for frying?
It's personal preference, really. Deep frying usually makes things more crisp and potatoes with a higher starch content, like russets, fry up crisp. The higher starch content also helps them to retain their heat longer so they tend to be hotter by the time the plate reaches it's intended recipient.
What types of ceramics are formed by heat?
Ceramic is a porous material. It has many small air pockets in it which help to reduce heat conduction. The heat does not transfer easily to air so the transfer is held back by these pockets and the heat is retained in the contained liquid or material. The atomic structure of ceramic accounts for its ability to retain heat due to the configuration of bound atoms or ions. A more crystalline structure will have less heat transferred and will retain more heat.
Do they wear protective head wear in Antarctica?
All clothing, including that which covers the head, aims to retain body heat. So protective in the sense that it keeps in body heat, yes.
Does saltwater prove to retain heat the best or freshwater?
Answer: Pure water has the best capacity for heat of any material known to man, so any impurity must reduce its ability.
What country is the largest producer of potatoes?

Is an urban heat island effect cool or warm?
The urban heat island effect is a warming effect. Unban means 'city'. Buildings and roads retain more heat and warm the air around them, so cities are warmer then the countryside.
Why double glazing is used in modern buildings?
Its because of it sound reduction capability and more importantly to retain heat so reduce the energy required to heat a premises and bring down carbon emissions
Do wood floors keep your house cooler?
Wood floors do have certain insulation benefits and properties, but they also retain heat, so there is no significant difference.
