What else can I help you with?
What happens when you mix ice water and saturated water?
Saturated water is water that's passed its boiling point yet hasn't evaporated yet. When putting ice water within this boiling-hot water, the heat energy from the boiling water transfers rapidly into the ice water, mixing the two and rapidly changing temperatures.
What is hydro thermal energy kids version?
Hydrothermal energy is generated through the earth's hot water. The water is produced underground, and heated by the earth's thermal heat.
How does the sun affect the weather on earth?
The sun affects the weather on earth because the suns heat makes water evaporate from earths surface.
When water boils in a pan on a hot burner how does heat get to the water?
The only way to 'place' water on a hot burner is when it is a solid (ice), or as a container of liquid water Naturally, the hot burner would melt it into a liquid and rapidly boid it away into water vapor (gas)
How do you recover geothermal energy?
After drilling into the Earth to the heat, it is used to turn water to steam, to turn a turbine.
Why are land surfaces heated more quickly?
Land surfaces heat up more quickly than water surfaces because soil has a lower heat capacity than water, meaning it requires less energy to raise its temperature. Additionally, land surfaces have a lower albedo, meaning they absorb more sunlight and convert it into heat. This combination of lower heat capacity and higher absorption of sunlight leads to land surfaces heating up more rapidly than water surfaces.
What does the heat radiated from the earth surfaces do?
land and water, and warms them. it also bonces in to the universe.
Do land surfaces heat more rapidly than water surfaces?
Water circulates so more of it must be heated (or cooled) to change temperature. With the land, only the top few inches change temperature at first--it takes awhile for the warmth to penetrate. So terrestrial surface measurements rise much faster in the morning and cool down faster in the evenings--the water tends to remain closer to the same temperature day and night.
How do microwaves heat water?
Microwaves heat water by causing the water molecules to vibrate rapidly, generating heat through friction.
Why do microwaves heat water?
Microwaves heat water by causing the water molecules to vibrate rapidly, which generates heat through friction.
Land surfaces without water or vegetation may expect large temperature changes from day to night?
Yes, that is correct. Surfaces without water or vegetation have low heat capacity, meaning they can heat up quickly during the day and cool down rapidly at night. This leads to large temperature fluctuations between day and night.
What two types of surface on Earth are most important for absorbing solar energy and keeping the planet warm?
The two types of surfaces on Earth that are most important for absorbing solar energy and keeping the planet warm are land and water. Land surfaces absorb and release heat quickly, while water surfaces have a higher heat capacity and can store more heat, regulating temperatures and influencing weather patterns.
Which statement best describes a difference between land and water surfaces?
Land surfaces heat up and cool down faster than water surfaces.
During a sunny day which earth surface will heat up faster and cool off fastter?
Surfaces with low specific heat capacity, like sand or concrete, will heat up faster. Surfaces with high specific heat capacity, like water or soil, will heat up more slowly but also cool down more slowly.
What is the difference in albedo between water and land surfaces?
The difference in albedo between water and land surfaces is that water has a lower albedo, meaning it reflects less sunlight and absorbs more heat compared to land surfaces. Land surfaces have a higher albedo, reflecting more sunlight and absorbing less heat.
How land and water surfaces affect the overlying air?
Heat (infrared radiation) rises from the earth into the air. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere hold onto this heat and become warm. (So the heat doesn't escape into space.) This warmth spreads out in all directions, including back down to earth, where it warms the land even more.
Which object would heat most rapidly water or asphalt?
grass
