What form of heat transfer is caused by the greenhouse effect?

There are three types of heat transfers: conduction, convection and radiation. The heat transfer caused by the greenhouse effect is radiation.


Which form of heat transfer is caused by the greenhouse effect?

Any and all objects that are warm emit electro-magnetic [radiated] waves in the Infra-Red range of E-M frequencies. IR radiation is stopped from 'Escaping' Into Outer Space, and remains instead Our Unwelcome Guest. radiation A+


Is causes weather on earth conductionconvection or radiation?

Weather on Earth is primarily caused by the sun's radiation heating the atmosphere and surface, which in turn drives processes such as convection and conduction that circulate and distribute heat energy throughout the planet. Convection involves the transfer of heat by the movement of fluids or gases, while conduction is the direct transfer of heat between materials in contact with each other.


What is the difference between direct and indirect global warming potential?

They are two types of radiation 1. Direct radiation 2.Diffused radiation The solar radiation reaching the surface of atmosphere of earth is known as extra terrestrial radiation. In which some part of radiation directly enters the earth atmosphere and some part enters the earth atmosphere by reflecting from clouds, gases , aerosols etc., The radiation which directly enters the earth atmosphere is known as "Direct radiation" The radiation which enters the earth atmosphere by reflecting from clouds, gases, aerosols is known as diffused radiation. In materiology the sum of both Direct radiation and Diffused radiation is called total radiation.


Explain the three mechanism of heat transfer in Earth atmosphere?

Green house gas absorbs the radiation that would actually be emitted into space. This raises the earth's temperature. Clouds, absorption through the surface of the earth, earth's magnetic field changes, etc., relate to heat transfer in the earth-atmosphere system.

What is the transfer of heat inside a structure is usually caused by?

The transfer of heat inside a structure is usually caused by conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction involves the transfer of heat through materials, convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids like air or water, and radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.


What is it called caused by the burning of fossil fuels that release gases into the Earth's atmosphere which absorb and emit infrared radiation thus reducing the release of heat to space?

The enhanced greenhouse effect, caused by the additional amounts of greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity. These gases absorb and then emit infrared radiation rising from the surface of the earth. Heat is thus prevented from escaping into space, and global warming is caused.


Which form of heat transfer is caused by the green houses effect?

Radiation is the form of heat transfer that is caused by the greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide is an example of a greenhouse gas.


What type of heat transfer occurs when you get a sunburn?

RadiationNot really. Sunburn is not caused by heat at all, but by overexposure to ultra-violet (specifically UV-B) radiation. It causes damage directly to the DNA rather than heat damage to the skin.While the answer 'radiation' is technically correct as UV is a type of radiation, sunburn is not caused by heat transfer at all.

Which method of energy transfer does not involve the movement of matter?

Energy transfer takes place by convection (the movement of hot air or other fluids due to diferences in densiity), conduction (transfer of heat through contact - caused by collisions between adjacent particles), or radiation (the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves such as light or infra-red rays).Radiation requires matter to create and absorb the EM waves, (i.e. you need a hot object to give off the IR waves) but the waves themselves can travel through a vacuum, so do not require matter to transfer energy.

What is the opposite of convection?

The opposite of convection is advection. Convection refers to the transfer of heat through the movement of fluid (such as air or water) caused by density differences, while advection is the transfer of properties of a substance by the movement of a different substance, typically involving horizontal movement in the atmosphere or oceans.


What three processes transfer heat over earths surface?

The three processes that transfer heat over Earth's surface are conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluid (liquid or gas) caused by temperature differences. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, such as from the sun to Earth.


What is the Aurora borealis by?

the aurora Borealis is caused by radiation and u.v rays shining through the carbon dioxide and atmosphere. This is the right answer
