What is the least important mechanism of heat transfer in the whole atmosphere?
Conduction
A substance can absorb heat energy by the process of?
There are three methods by which substances absorb heat. These are conduction, or heat transfer through contact, convection, or heat transfer through fluid motion, and radiation, or heat transfer through electromagnetic radiation.
What is caused by gases in the atmosphere that absorb radiation and transfer heat?
greenhouse effect
Types of interactions between earth's hydrosphere and atmosphere?
Evaporation, heat transfer, matter transfer, and a lowering of condensation are the types of interactions between Earth's hydrosphere and atmosphere.
How do radiation reradiation conduction and convection work together to heat the atmosphere?
they are in a transfer of how the atmosphier is heated
What is the transfer of heat in the atmosphere by the upward movement of air?
Convection
What is the definition for a convection?
1. The act or process of conveying; transmission.2. Physicsa. Heat transfer in a gas or liquid by the circulation of currents from one region to another.b. Fluid motion caused by an external force such as gravity.3. Meteorology The transfer of heat or other atmospheric properties by massive motion within the atmosphere, especially by such motion directed upward.
How does the kinetic theory of the matter relate to heat transfer?
Kinetic theory and Heat transfer are both in motion, in Kinetic theory all states of matter are in vigorous motion and Heat transfer is associated with the motion of atoms or molecules.
How convection happens?
Convection happens due to the transfer of heat by the motion of a heated fluid such as air or water.
Convection is the transfer of heat through what?
Convection is "the transfer of heat through the motion of molecules in a fluid."
How does heat flow set your atmosphere in motion?
it does not

How does heat escape through walls?
Heat inside a building warms the wall surface by convection,(the transfer of heat by fluid motion), the heat then travels through the wall by conduction (molecule by molecule heat transfer), the outer surface of the wall then gives off heat to the atmosphere again by convection. The rate of heat transfer through the wall is affected by two things: the number of films (surfaces, or boundaries) it must pass through, the more films the slower the transfer. And secondly the u factor, or insulation properties of the materials through which the heat travels.Heat inside a building warms the wall surface by convection,(the transfer of heat by fluid motion), the heat then travels through the wall by conduction (molecule by molecule heat transfer), the outer surface of the wall then gives off heat to the atmosphere again by convection.
