Where does conduction occur on earth?

Conduction occurs on Earth in various materials such as rocks, soil, and metals. It can be observed in the transfer of heat through the ground, within building materials, and in the conduction of electrical currents through conductive substances.


What year was conduction discovered?

Conduction was first discovered in the 19th century, with significant contributions from scientists such as Jean-Baptiste Fourier and Joseph Fourier. Their work laid the foundation for our understanding of heat conduction and the transfer of thermal energy.


What is earth conduction?

Conduction - in which a body's temperature is raised in one place and heat flows to cooler areas by diffusion as the molecules in the body vibrate more vigorously. No material is transported by conduction, only heat. Heat is transported by conduction in the crust where the material is rigid and cannot flow, and the temperature gradient is high. Conduction is very efficient in some materials like metals, and inefficient in others like air. Inefficient conductors are called insulators. ----


Will heat move from the ground to the atmosphere by conduction if the air is warmer than the ground?

No, heat will not move from the ground to the atmosphere by conduction if the air is warmer than the ground. Conduction involves heat transfer from a warmer object to a cooler object, so in this case, heat will not flow from the ground to the already warmer air.


In which layer of Earth's atmosphere is air most likely warmed by conduction?

The troposphere is the layer of Earth's atmosphere where air is most likely warmed by conduction. This is the lowest layer of the atmosphere where weather events occur, and conduction is the main mechanism through which heat is transferred near the Earth's surface.
