What else can I help you with?
Is it important that there is a balanced exchange of thermal energy between the Sun and the Earth?
yes
What is the The warming of earth caused by atmosphere trapping thermal energy from the sun called?
greenhouse effect
Which energy transformation takes place in a match head when light the match?
The mechanical energy used to strike a match is transformed first to thermal energy. The thermal energy causes the particles in the match to release stored chemical energy, which is transformed to thermal energy and the electromagnetic energy you see as light.
Where is the greater amount of the sun's thermal energy concentrated on earth?
The equator. On average, it is angled i such a way that the sun's rays hit it most directly
Why is the Earth's energy balance important in maintaining the average temperature of the Earth?
The Earth's energy balance is crucial for maintaining its average temperature because it regulates the flow of energy from the Sun and the energy that is radiated back into space. When incoming solar energy is equal to the outgoing thermal energy, the Earth's temperature remains stable. Disruptions in this balance, caused by factors like greenhouse gas emissions, can lead to changes in temperature, resulting in climate change and its associated impacts. Maintaining a stable energy balance is essential for sustaining life and ecosystems on Earth.
Why doesn't all of the gas in a car get transfered to mechanical energy?
Isn't it because some of the energy gets transfered to thermal energy?
Can kinetic energy create thermal energy?
Yes and no. Kinetic is transfered to thermal all the time with friction. Sound and heat (thermal energy) are the usual outcomes. Be careful about using create, as the law of conservation of energy states the energy is transfered not created or destroyed.
What is the thermal energy that's transfers?
Thermal energy can be transfered with three ways Conduction,Convection Radiation
What is chemical energy transformed to?
It could be transfered to sound, thermal, and potential energy.
When earth cools most of the energy transfered from Earth's surface to space is transfered by the process of?
Radiation
What can happen to energy that cannot be destroyed and its not used to do work?
it is transfered or turned into waste thermal energy
When thermal energy is transfered from the stove to a pot during cooking this is an example of what?
radiation
Heat energy from the sun is transfered to earth by?
Radiation
Energy transfered as heat through a material is called?
Thermal Conductance, measured by [Watts/(meter x Kelvin)].
What happens as thermal energy is transfered from the core to the mantle?
how can something as massive as the pacific plate move
What are 3 ways thermal energy is transfered from one substance to the other?
Convection. Conduction. Radiation
Were is the most thermal energy?
On Earth, the greatest source of thermal energy would be at the earth's core.
