Which Nordic nation uses geothermal energy for heat and electricity?
Iceland is the Nordic nation that uses geothermal energy for heat and electricity. This is due to its location on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, providing abundant geothermal resources for harnessing energy. Iceland's geothermal power plants supply a significant portion of the nation's electricity and heat needs.
What is the only country in Europe that uses geothermal power?
Iceland is the only country in Europe where geothermal power is used extensively for electricity and heat production. This is due to the country's location on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which provides abundant sources of geothermal energy.
What time of the day is the heat flow entering earths atmosphere?
Heat flow entering the Earth's atmosphere varies throughout the day, but typically the highest levels occur during the afternoon when the sun is overhead, resulting in peak heating. At night, heat flow decreases as the Earth cools.
What forces causes the plates to move?
The movement of tectonic plates is primarily driven by the heat and flow of mantle convection beneath the Earth's lithosphere. This convection creates currents that drag the plates along, causing them to move. Additional factors, such as ridge push and slab pull, also contribute to plate motion.
What is the relationship between heat flow and seafloor elevation and why?
Heat Flow is a measure of the amount of heat leaving the rocks of the lithosphere, while seafloor a seabed in the bottom of the ocean. Because all the heat leaves the rocks when at the bottom of an ocean :)
What is the north Atlantic ridge?
The Mid-Atlantic Range is an underwater mountain range of the Atlantic Ocean and Artic Ocean. The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is part of the global mid-oceanic ridge system; the ridge is the mountain range where tectonic plates are moving apart along a boundary as magma rises from the Earth's mantel. This magma then heats up and the heat cause the curst on the rifts expand creating the ridges. As the tectonic plates keep moving apart, the Atlantic ridge keeps growing at this point at the rate of 5-10centimeters per year. It's the Nothern third of the Mid-Atlantic ridge Plankey1995 JF
Why heat flow high at mid oceanic ridge?
That's were the Earth's crust is pulling apart - and the gap is being filled with molton lava.
Is there a optimal flow rate for maximum heat transfer when using a heat pump?
Yes there is an optimum flow rate. Kind of! The heat pump manufacturer will post on the internet or in the users guide what the maximum and mimimum flow rate through his heat pump should be. I take it that the optimum then, is anywhere within that range. My pump manufacturer prescribes 20 GPM to 70 GPM for the heat pump I will be using. Too low a flow causes the heat pump to overheat. Too high a flow is hard on system components. dburr
What are the release dates for Porter Ridge - 2013 The Heat Is On 1-8?
Porter Ridge - 2013 The Heat Is On 1-8 was released on: USA: 12 November 2013
Does heat flow cooler or smaller object?
Heat flow's from cooler objects.
Is heat flow the same between the continental and oceanic crust?
Apparently No, heat flow in oceanic crust is higher than continental crust
Does heat energy flow indefinitely?
No, heat energy does not flow indefinitely. It will continue to flow until a thermal equilibrium is reached where all objects involved reach the same temperature. Once this equilibrium is achieved, there will be no further flow of heat energy.
What is downward heat flow?
negative heat
What three things make heat flow?
Heat flow is made by conduction, convection or radiation.
How can energy be carried from one place to another by heat flow and by waves?
heat flow and waves
If you were a blob of magna coming out of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge what would happen on your next step in the rock cycle?
As a magma blob coming out of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, you would cool and solidify to become igneous rock. If you are then subjected to heat or pressure, you could metamorphose into metamorphic rock. Finally, with further heat and pressure, you might melt again to become magma and repeat the cycle.
Can heat ever flow from a colder object to a hotter object, as stated by the principle that heat can never flow from ?
Yes, heat can never flow from a colder object to a hotter object, as stated by the principle that heat can never flow from a lower temperature to a higher temperature.
