What is the leading cause of weather -related deaths?
Extreme heat is the leading cause of weather-related deaths globally. Heat waves can result in heat exhaustion, heatstroke, and exacerbate existing health conditions, leading to fatalities.
How many people have died from heat waves per ton of carbon emissions?
People do die in heat waves and global warming is real, but it is not possible to attribute any one extreme weather event to global warming and therefore it is not possible to say how many have died from this cause and because of global warming. The world currently produces around 30 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide just from burning fossil fuels. In other words, several metric tons for every man, woman and child in the world. No matter how many deaths from heatstroke can be attributed directly to global warming, the number is too small to relate to tons of carbon emissions. In any case, many more deaths have occurred due to floods, hurricanes, tornadoes and other extreme weather events, some of which may have been caused or accentuated by global warming.
What type of waves are often used in the heat lamps?
The waves in the spectral band between radio and visible light, most commonly referred to as "heat" waves. Those that originate from devices manufactured in Trinidad, Singapore, and Jamaica are known as "tropical heat waves" etc.
Is radiation heat?
No... radiation is the movement of waves and particles, and influence of movement upon all other matter around it or in it's path... What happens though, is that it causes (excellerates) the atoms in any material it encounters (and that material becomes hot, the greater the radiation, the greater and more violently it will be heated)...

What caused deaths on Trail of Tears?

What is a form of heat energy that is caused by electromagnetic waves?
Radiant energy, also known as heat radiation, is a form of heat energy caused by electromagnetic waves. This energy is emitted in the form of photons and can travel through space. Examples include heat from the sun or a light bulb.
How many sports deaths were caused by heat stroke in the past year?

What is the difference between a burn and a scald?
A burn is caused by dry heat whereas a scald is caused by wet heat. A burn can be caused by heat or cold, and this can be wet or dry. A scald is a burn caused by wet heat such as boiling water.
Are heat waves electromagnetic waves?
Heat waves are the same as infra-red radiation; however it is the more specific name. Electromagnetic waves range from Radio Waves to Gamma Rays so, technically, the answer is no.
Most surface waves are caused by?
Most surface waves are caused by the wind blowing over the surface of the water, creating ripples and waves. Other factors that can cause surface waves include seismic activity, tides, and underwater landslides.
Do more people die from heat or cold?
More people tend to die from extreme heat than from extreme cold. Heat-related illnesses, such as heat stroke, are more common and can be more deadly than cold-related illnesses. Additionally, heat waves can affect larger populations compared to cold spells.
What environmental conditions contributed to the heat wave experienced in Europe and caused thousands of deaths in France?
polluted water
