ans:

something hotter than surrounding air (radiator), has air surround that gets hot, and conduction, because gas molecules far away is very slow in air, so need another process to heat rest of air. Air surround radiator less dense after heating, therefore rises, creating space for more dense (colder air), which in turn contacts radiator, transfer heat, and rises, and process continues.

In which direction do convection cells in earth's atmosphere move heat around the planet?

Convection cells in Earth's atmosphere move heat from the equator towards the poles and then back towards the equator. These cells help redistribute heat and maintain global temperature equilibrium.

Heat convection does not occur in solids because?

Because the atoms do not move around. The whole idea of convection is that 'groups' of things move about. In the case of heat convection these moving groups take or bring their heat with them.


What are the 3 ways heat can move?

Can Heat be transferred through convection?

Yes. Convection currents move hot materials to other places.


Does heat move through air?

Yes, heat can move through air by conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat between molecules in direct contact, convection is the transfer of heat by the movement of air, and radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.


What must happen to heat to be transferred to convection?

the liquid or gas must circulate to move the heat.


What direction will heat energy move when placed with a cold object?

convection


Do you have to have heat in a convection current?

Yes, because otherwise, the plates, moved by the convection currents, won't move at all.


Which method of heat transfer use a medium?

Both conduction and convection require an intervening medium, but convection requires the medium to be able to move.


How can heat move without having matter to move it?

By radiation. Only conduction and convection need a medium in which to move
