Why is convection more important than conduction in the troposphere?

Convection is way more important than conduction in the troposphere because conduction can only travel through solid unlike convection.

∙ 9y ago- convection is important because if there wasn't convection, we probably wouldn't have warm fluids because of heat transferin a fluid

How does the process of convection rely on radiation?
It relys on it because convection are the air currents that have to be heated by something, so you need objects to radiate heat to heat up the air to start the current
By which mode of heat transfer heat is transferred in solids?
the process of transfer of heat energy in solids is known as conduction.. For more info-- the process of transfer of heat energy in liquids and gases is known as convection.. And the process of transfer of heat energy without any material medium is known as radiation..
How do conduction convection and radiation affect the movement and temperature of air near the ocean?
Conduction, convection and radiation affects the movement and temperature of air near the ocean. Conduction causes difference in temperatures. For example, during a hot day, land heats up more quickly than water. Water is a better conductor of heat. The air near the land's surface is heated due to conduction and radiation. It expands and rises since it is lighter than surrounding air. This is called convection. To replace the air that rose, the air from the sea's surface blows to land.
What is the transfer of heat through gases and liquids called?
Heat can be transferred through liquids and gases by means of conduction as well as conduction.The difference is that convection is not possible in solids.ConductionDuring conduction, heat is transferred due to the vibration of the molecules. A molecule at a higher temperature has more energy, and hence vibrates faster. It collides with other atoms and passes energy onto it. The chain continues and heat is transferred without any appreciable movement of molecules.ConvectionIn convection, the hotter particles move around in the fluid, transferring energy to the colder molecules. For example, when heating water in a vessel on a stove, the water at the bottom is heated first. It rises to the top and the cooler water flows down to be heated. This continues and heat is transferred throughout the fluid. Heat is transferred with the movement of molecules.
Is it true that convection is the flow of heat energy by direct contact?
Convection needs a fluid. More specifically, convection is the motion of a fluid that is caused by the effects of non-uniform density. In all real examples of convection, the non-uniform density is caused by non-uniform temperature. If you accept the relationship between temperature and density as a given physical law, then you do not need to talk about molecules in order to explain convection; but if you want also to explain why the density changes with temperature, then you probably will need to talk about the molecular nature of the fluid.
When particles with more energy move upwards from a hotter place to a colder one is it conduction convection or radiation?
is it conduction, convection or radiation
What is more likely to occur in the water thermal energy transfer by conduction or convection?
Convection
How does the process of convection rely on radiation?
It relys on it because convection are the air currents that have to be heated by something, so you need objects to radiate heat to heat up the air to start the current
Does convection always work more quickly than conduction?
i don't known
Does the energy move from earths surface and atmosphere out of space through radiation conduction or convection?
conduction because there is more heat in space then there is in earth
Does heat travel through a liquid by conduction?
Yes, but more travels through liquids by convection.
Is a heater a conduction or convection?
Heater Is neither Conduction nor Convection... The Questions seems to be wrong... If you ask Whether the heat given by a heater is lost by conduction or Convection, then the answer is: YES! In a heater the heat is lost by all three processes namely Conduction , Convection and Radiation.
Rising warm air transports heat energy by?
Thermal energy travels by conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction occurs when two or more objects of different temperatures are touching each other. The heat flows from the warmer object to the cooler object, until the objects reach equal temperatures. Convection is the transfer of thermal energy through a moving liquid or gas. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy though matter and space.
What heat transfer occurs in asthenosphere?
It's where the plates of the lithosphere move around on, the plastic like layer of the asthenosphere. the plates move around on these
Which mode is heat transferred in liquid?
Heat in liquid is primarily transferred via convection and conduction. Conduction is a short range force, it arises from the transfer of energy via molecular vibration. Convection is more to do with the motion of the liquid as a whole. Conduction trasmits the heat from molecule to molecule, convection causes motion within the liquid due to hotter parts becoming less dense and rising.
What is the main difference between conduction and convection?
A traditional conduction oven has a heat source at the bottom and bakes from the bottom up. Whereas convection has a fan blower that circulates the heat all around the food cooking much more evenly and faster.
When you get cold while your swimming does your body lose heat from conduction convection radiation or reflction?
"Reflction" (I assume you mean "reflection") isn't really a way to lose heat. Convection is really only important within a body; it's largely irrelevant when talking about heat transfer from one distinct body (you) to another (the water). There may well be convection in the water, but that has only a secondary impact on you and how cold you are.That leaves radiation and conduction. Both of these processes are going on, but of the two, conduction is by far the more significant in this particular case.
