Definition for solution?

a means of solving a problem or dealing with a difficult situation or a liquid mixture in which the minor component (the solute) is uniformly distributed within the major component (the solvent).


What type of heat transfer causes wind?

Electromagnetic waves from the sun heat the ground in a certain area, say, a parking lot. The hot parking lot transfers some of its heat to the air above it. Eventually, a "bubble" of warmer air is created and, since heat rises, it begins to ascend. When this happens, the cold air around the "bubble" of hot air rushes in to fill the space left by it. The rushing air is wind. (at least, that's what my 5th-grade textbook said)


Which of the following are the major ways that heat energy is transferred through earth system?

ConvectionHeat energy is transferred primarily by air movements, storms, and ocean currents. Since the earth is heated unevenly, the energy is redistributed. Air movements, otherwise called wind, are one important mechanism. Storms, which contain water vapor and water, also transfer heat. When water turns to water vapor it absorbs heat and when water vapor condenses to water, heat is released. Therefore, storms are important movers of heat. Ocean currents also transfer heat as cold currents move to warmer areas and warm currents move to colder areas.air movements, storms, and ocean currents


What kind of heat transfer causes earths major heat patterns?

Our planet is warmed by conduction (heat from the mantle below), convection (tropical heat is transferred to the poles by wind and currents) and radiation (primarily the warmth of the sun, though there's also radioactive decay occurring in our planet's core).


What are the major accomplishments of Sir John Franklin?

There is not really any major accomplishment for John Franklin. He was more of a major failure.

Can it take you a year to complete your bachelor's degree if you already have an associate's degree?

If you transfer within the same major, it should take an additional two years.


Can you transefer to a university with an AAA degree?

Yes you can. The associate of arts degree (AA) is typically designed to transfer to the four year colleges and universities. However, to transfer the credits full faith in credit, you will have to remain within the same major.

How long does it take to get your bachelor's degree in sports medicine when you already have an associate's degree in massage therapy?

It depends on exactly which courses you have completed at the associate level, and how they fit in to the bachelor's degree. When students finish the associate degree within a transfer program, then transfer to a four year institution within the same major, it typically takes an additional two years. However, in your case this is not a transfer program, and I assume it is an associate of applied science degree. Thus, I would imagine while some courses would transfer, there will be few that do.

If you get an associate's degree in fire science do you still have to do four years to get a BA?

Not necessarily, there will be credits that will transfer toward the bachelor's degree. How many credits will transfer depends on the major you take at the four year institution. Typically, if you were to complete the associate degree in a transfer program, and you transfer to a four year college or university within the same program of study (major), then it would take an additional two years to complete the bachelor's degree. If not, then the institution you are transferring to, will pick apart those credits which are usable and disregarding those which are not. In any even, today completion is keen within most fields, thus it would be prudent to pursue the bachelor's degree regardless of the length of time.
