What are 3 main uses of geothermal energy?

Electricity generation: Geothermal energy is used to produce electricity by harnessing heat from the Earth's interior to drive steam turbines. Heating and cooling: Geothermal energy is used for direct heating and cooling of buildings through geothermal heat pumps, which transfer heat to or from the ground. Industrial processes: Geothermal energy is utilized in various industrial processes such as food drying, greenhouse heating, and thermal baths for spa resorts.


Air movement patterns on earth's surface?

Air movement is caused by uneven heating of Earth's surface


What fraction of the sunlight that reaches earth is reflected back into space?

About 30% of the sunlight that reaches Earth is reflected back into space, mainly by clouds, ice, snow, and other reflective surfaces. The remaining 70% is absorbed by the Earth's surface and atmosphere, providing energy for processes like photosynthesis and heating the planet.


What are the three factors that influence the direction of winds and surface currents?

Glocal winds: they occur when different winds cause currents to flow in different directions. The coriolis effect: The apparent curving of the path of a moving object from an otherwise straight path due to the Earth's rotation. Continental deflections: When surface currents meet continents, the currents deflect, or change direction.

What causes uneven heating of the Earth's surface?

This is caused by the earth's tilt. Vertical rays of the sun hit the earth at points between 23.5 degrees of the equator. Where ever the radiation is perpendicular to the surface, radiation is being maximized, and therefore must be transported elsewhere around the earth to account for this uneven heating. 1) the amount of sunlight falling on the surface per unit area (say square foot): thus time of day, angular displacement from vertical for the sun (how close to the poles vs the equator AND the season). 2) the amount of light energy that get absorbed vs reflected back up. (e.g., snow reflects almost all the light, sea water (dark) absorbs most) 3) the specific heat of the substance that the light is striking. (it's hard to heat up water, easy to heat stone) 4) Cloud cover.


How many ways can you divide 12?

For even results:12 divided by 112 divided by 212 divided by 312 divided by 412 divided by 612 divided by 12For uneven results, decimals, or percentages you can use any number to divide it by.

What are the reasons why wind or air moves?

Wind moves due to differences in air pressure, which create areas of high and low pressure. Air moves from high pressure areas to low pressure areas to equalize the pressure, resulting in wind. Additionally, the Earth's rotation and the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun also play a role in creating wind patterns.


How 42 pigs get into 7 buckets in uneven number?

Uneven does not necessarily mean odd. It can also mean unequal. So, buckets with 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 pigs can be said to have an uneven number in each.
