Earth's geothermal gradient is the rate of temperature change incurred by?
Geothermal gradient is the increase of temperature in relation to the increasing depth in the Earth's interior. The Earth's internal heat source comes from the joined forces of residual heat from planetary accretion and heat produced through radioactive decay. It may also come from other sources.
What is the effect of temperature change to the amount of heat content of the substance?
The effect of temperature change to the amount of heat content of the substance is called heat transfer. As heat increases, the temperature decreases.
What are the similarities and differences between heat and temperature?
Heat is defined as the total kinetic energy of all the atoms and molecules that make up a substance.Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the individual atoms or molecules in a substance.
What are the natural sources of heat?
the earth interior
What unit is used to measure heat intensity?
Heat intensity (how Hot is it) is measured by the objects Temperature in Degrees, Fahrenheit, Centigrade, or Kelvin. Heat content (energy) is most commonly measured in Calories.
What can serve as modes of both heat gain and heat loss from the body?
There are two sources by which heat is produced in our body.Endogenous sources and Exogenous sources.Endogenous sources heat by our metabolic and muscle activity. Exogenous sources heat when the environmental temperature exceeds our body temperature and that is transferred to our body.
How do lizards control their temperature?
Because they are cold-blooded animals, lizards use heat sources outside of their body to regulate their temperature.
What is the temperature of solid in iron rod?
The temperature of the solid iron rod will depend on its surroundings and any heat sources or cooling mechanisms that may be affecting it. In general, the temperature of a solid iron rod will be the same as its surroundings if it has reached thermal equilibrium. However, if there are heat sources or cooling mechanisms in the vicinity, the temperature of the rod may differ.
What are the four sources of heat?
what are the four sources of heat
What is the importance of bio-asphalt in union budget 2011?
it can be made from renewable sources and lower the temperature of urban heat island.
Can heat be an example of temperature?
Temperature is a measurement of heat. Heat is not an example of temperature.
What best describes the relationship between heat and temperature heat and temperature are the same thing heat changes temperature heat is a measure of temperature or temperature measures?
The flow of heat in and out of an object changes its temperature.
How would you increase the efficiency of a Carnot engine by increasing T1 or by decreasing T2 - why?
Increasing the temperature of the hot reservoir will increase efficiency. So will decreasing the temperature of the cold reservoir (heat sink). There are limits as to how cold you can get the heat sink however. Cutting the temperature of the heat sink in half will give the same improvement in efficiency as doubling the temperature of the heat source - but it's a lot harder to cut the temperature of the heat sink in half than to double the temperature of the heat source. Also, the heat sink is usually around the temperature of the environment - which you have little control over. ... bottom line - you are probably going to find it easier to improve the efficiency by raising T1 than by decreasing T2.
Snakes are not cold and clammy fact or opinion?
Fact !... Reptile skin is dry - not clammy. Their temperature is governed by external heat sources.
What is the importance of bio asphalt in union budget 2011-2012?
it can be made from renewable sources and lower the temperature of urban heat island.
What are the sources of internal heat?
Main sources of internal heat are Magmatism and Radioactivity.
What is the difference betwween heat energy and temperature?
Heat is the cause and temperature is the effect Heat = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature Heat is proportional to temperature and in not equal to temperature. Heat has joule as unit where as temperature has the unit kelvin
