One of them is meteorological convection. But to have this, you need unstable air in the atmosphere, so the parcel of warm air can move up to its highest potential due to being warmer than the air around it.

Bonus Note: The Low Pressure System is the active feature of Our Atmosphere - because the High Pressure Systems exist everywhere that a Low does not. Air rises at the center of a Low and re-descends to the surface amidst the much more diffuse boundaries of a High.

How does heat travel through a fluid?
Heat convection occurs when bulk flow of a fluid (gas or liquid) carries heat along with the flow of matter in the fluid. The flow of fluid may be forced by external processes, or sometimes (in gravitational fields) by buoyancy forces caused when thermal energy expands the fluid (for example in a fire plume), thus influencing its own transfer. The latter process is sometimes called "natural convection". All convective processes also move heat partly by diffusion, as well. Another form of convection is forced convection. In this case the fluid is forced to flow by use of a pump, fan or other mechanical mean
The 3 ways of transferring energy are?
condiction, radiation and convection
Describe the three processes that transport energy?
1. radiation- which transfers energy from the sand to the air2. conduction- which the transfer of heat energy from one substance to another by direct contact.3. convection- which the transfer of energy from place to place by motion of gas or liquid.
How many types of heat transfer are there?
Three. Conduction, convection and radiation.There are three ways heat can be transferred. Two ways include convection and radiation. The third way is conduction.
What are 3 methods of heat transfer?
Heat (or thermal) energy is kinetic energy due to motion of atoms and molecules. It is energy that is in the process of being transferred from one object to another because of their temperature difference
What are the 3 processes to transfer heat?
conduction convection radiation
What are the three processes of heat transfer?
The three methods of heat transfer are: (1) Conduction - particles bump into other particles, transferring energy. (2) Convection - moving masses carry heat with them. Especially, hot air (for example) tends to rise up, because of its lower density - the heat difference itself causes the currents. (3) Radiation. Objects radiate electromagnetic radiation, depending on their temperature. (The amount of energy radiated increases quickly at higher temperatures.)
What are 3 types of heat transfer?
convection conduction radiation
What are 3 types of energy heat transfers?
conduction, convection, radiation
What are the ways heat transfer?
theres 3 convection, radiation, and conduction
What are the three processes that cause tectonic plates to move?
Three processes that contribute to the motion of tectonic plates are convection currents, ridge push, and slab pull. Convection currents is when the mantle rises, cools, sinks and heats, then rises and repeats the cycle. Ridge push is a gravitational force that causes a plate to move. Slab pull is the movement of tectonic plate lithosphere due to convection currents in the asthenosphere.
How many edges of all the polyhedrons meet at each vertex?
The answer will depend on the polyhedron, but often it is 3.The answer will depend on the polyhedron, but often it is 3.The answer will depend on the polyhedron, but often it is 3.The answer will depend on the polyhedron, but often it is 3.
What are four characteristics of a mineral?
1. formed by natural processes 2. inorganic or not living 3. made up of one element or a combination of elements 4. they are solids

What are 3 forces that causes tectonic plates to move?
This will be in detail for your information. 3 driving forces of plate motion...one plate moves underneath the other or a continental collision (if the 2... cause the gravitational sliding of lithosphere plates away from them...
Which 3 processes stop if stomata is closed?
Diffusion, Respiration & Photosynthesis. These 3 processes will stop if stomata is closed.
What are four ways in which natural processes add harmful particles to the air?
1. pollution 2. dust storms 3. cars/ automobiles 4. forest fires Save
