Primary force that causes continents to drift?
thermal convection
Where does warm air go after moving over a cold mass?
It is lifted up over the colder air, which results in expansion (a pressure drop), and therefore cooling, and in many cases the air cools to saturation and clouds/precipitation result. Eventually these processes and the air's movement causes it to dissipate into air of similar character.
What are the 4 causes of weathering?
frost weathering, thermal stress, salt wedging, and biological weathering
What factor causes the greatest effect on the seasons of Earth?
First the Sun, and then the thermal mass of the earth.
What scientist first proposed that thermal connection in the mantle causes continental drift?
Arthur Holmes
What eventually causes a thermal dissipate?
The air pressure
What do brakes do?
A vehicals brakes convert kinetic energy into thermal energy through friction and dissipate the thermal energy into the atmosphere
What kind of weathering causes repeated expanding due to the heat and contracting due to cold strains the rocks and causes them to crack?
Thermal expansion causes repeated expansion and contraction within the rock. This repeated stress breaks bonds and eventually causes the rock to crack. Thermal expansion is classified as a type of physical or mechanical weathering.
What is TDP?
Thermal design power (TDP), sometimes called thermal design point, represents the maximum amount of power the cooling system in a computer is required to dissipate.
Can a funnel cloud weaken?
Yes, all weather patterns will weaken and dissipate eventually.
What can casuse a thermal burn?
heat causes a thermal burn
What happen when you get too cold?
When you get to cold the thermal energy in your body starts losing heat which causes blood to eventually not have the potential to circulate and you get purple not be able to move eventually and well you die. yes you can freeze to death so be careful
How do conduction convection and radiation causes thermal energy?
None of those processes causes or produces thermal energy. Each of them moves thermal energy from one place to another.
What causes thermal reaction?
terrorists
WHAT CAUSES THERMAL BURNING?
Heat
Is thermal energy caused by the ocean?
No, thermal energy is the last form of energy degradation. All energy will eventually transformed to thermal energy. Even the motion of wave (kinetic energy) would eventually loss through shear and friction and transformed to thermal energy.
What is thermal energy used for?
Thermal energy is the moment of atoms and molecules in a substance that causes heat.
