Why is the bottom of a pond cooler than the top during the hot summer day?
The sun heats the water surface. Warm water has a lighter density than cold water so the warmer water floats on the surface of the colder water.
Why is refrigerator warm at bottom and cold at top?
i think it depends on where the cooling vents are. in every fridge I've seen they've been at the top.
Why does water go down in a cold place and hot water goes up in an airtight place?
Cold water is denser then hot water and weighs more so hot water will always stay on top of cold water no matter the pressure in the line or volume unless forced by flow hot water water will always be on top.
Why does warm water stay on top of cold water?
Warm water is less dense.
Why is the top layer of the ocean of the warmest?
Warm water is less dense than cold water.
What type of water will things float down faster in warm or cold?
Cold will sink to the bottom. Hot water will rise to the top.
What are density currents?
A density current is where a warm current floats on top of a cold currentA density current is where a warm current floats on top of a cold currentThe movement of a mass of cold, dense ocean water as it sinks beneath warmer surface water.
Does hot water settle on top when poured onto cold water?
I think it does because once I dyed warm water red and cold water blue. If you put the red on top, that's where it stays.
What is the main reason the warmest ocean waters are near the surface?
Warm ocean water is leass dense than cold water. So the cold water sinks and the warm water is left on top! Hope this helps! :)
Why is the refrigerator cold at bottom and warm at top?
The refrigerator is cold at the bottom and warm at the top because warm air rises. Cold air is heavier than warm air and settles toward the bottom of the appliance.
