An increase in the kinetic energy of the molecules that a materiel is formed from.

This can lead to a softening of the material or if enough energy is supplied the melting of the material.

It can also cause chemical reactions which may alter the material.

Both these processes occur in metamorphic rocks.

Why is the polar front jet stream stronger in the winter than in the summer?

The temperature difference between the polar region and the mid-latitudes is greater in winter, leading to a stronger temperature gradient. This increased temperature gradient results in a stronger polar front jet stream during the winter months.


What will happen to the amount of infrared radiation emit if an objects temperature is increased?

If an object's temperature is increased, the amount of infrared radiation it emits will also increase. This is because the intensity of radiation emitted by an object is directly proportional to its temperature according to Stefan-Boltzmann law.


How does pressure affect temperature?

Increasing pressure typically results in an increase in temperature through the process of adiabatic heating. This is because higher pressure compresses gas molecules more closely together, increasing their energy and therefore their temperature. Conversely, decreasing pressure usually leads to a decrease in temperature as gas molecules move further apart and lose energy.


Does pressure rise when heat rises?

Heat and temperature are two different terms. Heat is the cause and temperature is the effect. So when the temperature increases then the pressure increases provided the volume remains constant. This is what we call part of Charle's law.

What stimulates vaso dilation?

Vasodilation is a mechanism for thermoregulation . It is used for cooling down body temperature . Increased body temperature stimulates vasodilation .It results in increased blood flow to skin to aid heat dissipation .


What happens to the kinetic energy of molecular motion in water when its temperature is increased?

When the water is heated, its molecules get additional kinetic energy due to it. This results in their increased velocity. As their kinetic energy gets increased, they try to overcome the force of attraction between themselves and eventually water changes into water vapour.


How density is impacted by the temperature of the heat energy of the material?

An increase in temperature causes thermal expansion which increases the volume. This cause a decrease in density. Except in the case of water between 0 and 4 degrees C, where increased temperature results in a contraction and so increased density.

What to do if you have abnormal results for magnesium?

Increased blood levels of magnesium are sometime due to dietary sources. But are usually the result of an excretion problem or excessive supplementation. Increased levels are seen in Kidney failure.


Will ice cream melt if the temperature is increased or decreased?

What happens when frequency is increased of transformer?

When the frequency of a transformer is increased, the core losses of the transformer increase due to increased eddy current losses and hysteresis losses. This results in a rise in temperature of the transformer. Additionally, higher frequency can affect the impedance of the transformer and alter the voltage regulation and efficiency.


Why dielectric loss increases with temperature?

Dielectric loss increases with temperature because at higher temperatures, molecules in the dielectric material vibrate more vigorously, leading to increased collisions and energy dissipation. This increased molecular motion results in higher internal friction within the material, causing a rise in dielectric loss.
