What energy source is a result of the uneven heating of the earth's surface?
I think either geothermal or wind
How does land heat up?
Land heats up when waves of energy from the sun produce heat upon contact with the land's surface.
What makes sunspots different from the rest of the surface of the sun?
They are colder - by about 1200 degrees Celsius - than the rest of the Sun.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------They are darker because they are relatively cooler than the surrounding area. They are cooler because where a sunspot happens tightly bunched together magnetic field lines poke out of the surface of the Sun. This region of intense magnetic activity, inhibits convection motion and thus less heat is welling up from the Sun's interior.
What do you call it when the sun heats up heats up water?
There is a Wiki aricle titled "Solar water heating", not sure if there is a better title than that. Evaporation only occurs when the surface liquid gains enough energy to vapourise. If the whole body of liquid starts vapourising instead of just the surface layer the liquid is no longer evaporating, instead it is boiling.
Does energy from the sun reach earth by convection?
Simply put, there are 3 heat transmission phenomenons : convection, conduction and radiation. The first two are highly dependent of the nature of the material inbetween the two objects, which in this case is nothing at all. Waves, however, travel accross space and allow heat transmission by radiation.
In a liquid can the heat transfer both by conduction and convection?
yes. it is conduction on the surface to begin with. later on, it is convenction
Is radiation convection or conduction involved when a lake freezes?
Lake freezes first at the surface is convection involved
An example of conduction convection and radiation working together?
a boiling pot because the stove radiates heat to warm the pot. the pot is touching the stove which is conduction. last when the pot is heated and boiling the steam is a form of convection. conduction could also be ice melting on a hot surface>
What three processes transfer heat over earths surface?
Convection, radiation, and conduction
What are three ways energy is transferred from earth's surface to the atmosphere?
Conduction, convection and radiation.
Does heat from the earths interior reaches earth through conduction?
Heat from the earth's interior reaches the surface through a combination of convection and conduction.
Does the energy move from earths surface and atmosphere out of space through radiation conduction or convection?
conduction because there is more heat in space then there is in earth
Is conduction uneven heating of the earth's surface?
No. Conduction is a form of heat transfer through matter via direct contact.
Ways to remember convection conduction and radiation?
radiation- radiation waves, like a micro wave, heat that moves in waves conduction- i use a phrase " im gonna conduct your ass", or conduct an alien by TOUCHING IT, conduction is heat transfer between 2 things by them TOUCHING. convection- it sounds like vent and vent bring hot air to places, this is what convection does search on google and there is also a rap for it
What do convection currents resulting from uneven heating of Earth's surface form?
wind
How is earth atmosphere warmed evenly?
Energy is transferred between the earths surface and the atmosphere via conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transmitted through contact with neighboring molecules.
Is conduction convection or radiation the way in which the mantle circulates?
The way the mantle circulates is through the process of convection. It refers to the transfer of heat from the Earth's core to the surface.
