Trapped air is a good what because it reduces heat transfer?
Insulator.
How does cavity wall insulation reduce heat loss?
Most outside walls have an empty space between the 2 layers of bricks called a cavity . This reduces heat loss by conduction through the bricks. Heat energy reaches the interior wall The heat energy is conducted through the wall The air cavity between the two walls in a cavity wall acts as an insulator and reduces heat loss by conduction
How does the thickness of he loft insulation affect heat loss?
The answer is that the thicker the loft insulation is the more heat loss will be reduced as if it is thicker the more air is trapped between the layers of insulation and thermal energy cannot pass throught trapped air causing it to not leave your howm and therfore hating it Hope this helps C.Turner
Which energy source is formed when organic matter is trapped underground without exposure to air or moisture?
natural gas
Does loft insulation reduce heat loss by conduction convection or radiation?
Insulation reduces heat loss by replacing air space with a less conductive material (insulation). Therefore the answer is conduction.
Why woolen clothes keep us warm?
Its just because woolen clothes have fibres and between those fibres air is trapped which reduces heat loss. Air reduces heat loss because it is an insulator or poor conductor of heat.
Trapped air is a good what because it reduces heat transfer?
Insulator.
How does fur reduces the rate of heat loss from an organism?
Fur can hold a layer of air around it.That layer act as an insulator.So it reduces heat loss.
How the thickness of the insulation affects heat loss?
The thicker the loft insulation the less heat escapes! The thicker the loft insulation is the more heat loss will be reduced as if it is thicker the more air is trapped between the layers of insulation and thermal energy cannot pass through trapped air causing it to not leave your home and therefore hating it
How thickness of loft insulation affects heat loss?

What reduces air pollution?
As humans, we can reduce air pollution by limiting our use of energy and polluntants.
How does the foam reduce heat loss?
Foam contains pockets of trapped air which prevents conduction.

What term refers to the suns energy being trapped in your atmosphere?
Warm air. The greenhouse effect. Weather.
