Why do liquids retain their teperature in a thermos?
substances cool as they lose heat energy, and get warmer as they gain heat energy. A thermos is an insulated container which opposes the movement of heat, thus hot liquids lose heat to the cooler outside more slowly and stay hotter for longer and cold liquids gain heat from the outside more slowly and stay colder for longer.
Why a swimming pool is colder on a windy day?
Things feel colder when you get wet as a result of evaporation and condesation. On a windy day this process takes place more quickly and becomes colder.
Why does marble flooring feel cool to touch?
It feels cold because it is colder than your skin . Marble feels colder than say wood because the marble conducts heat more readily.
What is the effect of temperature on viscocity?
the colder most liquids get, the more viscous they get.
Why does water get colder the deeper you dive?
Well, Basically water is dense (thick in laments terms) heat is just another way to say energy so, ocean water temperature drops slowly, down to a depth of about 700 feet, but after this point it remains fairly constant for a depth of about another 250 feet in a 'belt', within which it gets neither hotter or colder. Below this depth, it continues to get colder, more rapidly than it did before, mostly because heat travels the farther the travel the more work is required to heat up. The higher up you are the closer to the origin of the heat source you are. In other words when you light a fire, when you next to the fire its pretty warm but as you walk away from it you become colder because you are going further away from the fire.
Why do things cool down more slowly if they are wrapped?
Whatever it is wrapped in slows the loss of heat. It acts as an insulator.
Does water cool more slowly than land does?
Yes
Why does the ocean heat and cool more slowly than the atmosohere?
Because it has more thermal capacity.

Do winds and currents flow faster at the equator than at the poles or more slowly?
At the poles because the water is colder and less dense............

Why does the ocean heat and cool more slowly than the atmosphere?
The ocean has a higher heat capacity.
Why can bodies of water create microclimates?
They cool and heat more slowly than the land around them

They cool and heat more slowly than the land around them.
Why does the ocean heat and cool more slowly than the atmoshpere?
the ocean has a higher heat capacity
Why did civilization grow more slowly in europe?
Colder Climate, Heavily Forested, Less Opportunity for Agriculture. More Conflict among Diverse Tribes. Roman Predation.

It feels cold because it is colder than your skin . Marble feels colder than say wood because the marble conducts heat more readily.
