What is conduction used for?
Conduction allows energy to travel through a medium. Some of its practical uses are making electricity flow in wires, cooking food, telephone conversations and conducting heat through the atmosphere to warm the earth.Another AnswerFurther to the original answer, energy doesn't travel through wires. A conductor allows the drift of current.
What evidence do we have that the plates are moving?
We have a) GPS measurements at different plates. b) evidence from earthquakes: They are caused by movement at plate boundaries / Fault zones. c) Evidence from geology (fault offsets)
What are the two main types of crust on earth?
Oceanic crust-made up primarily of basalt-4-5 kilometers deepContinental crust-made up of granite-low density: allows it to "float" on the much higher density mantle below-20-30 miles deep
What is the scientific name of the earth's crust?
There is oceanic crust and continental crust. Oceanic crust is thinner and more dense than continental crust and is constantly being recycled via subduction upon collisions with continental crust, and creation at mid-ocean ridges.Oceanic crust is rougly 3 to 4 miles thick (5 to 7 kilometers). Continental crust is roughly 20 to 30 miles thick (30 to 50 kilometers). The lower density of continental crust allows it to float on the mantle with high relief. Furthermore, oceanic crust is mainly made of basalt whereas continental crust is mainly made of granite.
In what way does the presence of an atmosphere enhance conditions for life on Earth's?
An atmosphere allows for regulated temperature and with out regulated temperature life cannot stabilize and we would not be able to form life in the first place. Also it allows for certain chemical compounds to form and that allows life to exist.
At deep ocean trenches what allows oceanic crust to sink back into the mantle?
Conduction. Heat istransferred from the mantle to the crust, melting it to become part of the mantle.
At deep-ocean trenches what allows oceanic crust to sink back into the mantle?
Subduction.
What type of axon allows saltatory conduction?
A myelinated axon
Why is conduction useful?
Conduction is useful because it allows you to heat solids. FACT: Solids heat faster than liquids and gases.
Witch form of energy allows you to feel the warmth of the sun?
Conduction
What is conduction important?
it allows us humans to get heat such as vitiman D on our skin
Why does deep-ocean trench occur?
At deep-ocean trenches, subduction allows part of the ocean floor to sink back into the mantle. The ocean floor does not just keep spreading. Instead, it sinks beneath deep underwater canyons called deep-ocean trenches. Where there are trenches, subduction takes place.

How electric cooker works?
Electric cookers work through conduction. The electric burner is heated up and a pot or pan is placed against it. This contact allows for conduction and the content in the pot is heated in the same way.
Does Oceanic Time Warner have good customer service?
Oceanic Time Warner's customer service reviews can be found at their website. Previous customers write what they think about the customer service which allows users to gauge how good their service is.
What are the evolutionary advantages achieved by the myelinatio of neurons?
Myelin allows for much faster conduction speeds. Faster is better in evolutionary terms.
What is the best material?
A vacuum allows no conduction or convection of heat, but still allows radiative transfer. The radiative component may be blocked by a reflective film. Hence your vacuum flask has a silvered finish to the evacuated double-walled container. Even so. there will still be a small conduction of heat through the necessary thermal bridge at the neck of the flask.
