What is hydro thermal energy kids version?
Hydrothermal energy is generated through the earth's hot water. The water is produced underground, and heated by the earth's thermal heat.
Which process transfers thermal energy by contact?
This proess is called conduction. The other processes are convection and radiation. Convection is the transfer of energy through movement, such as boiling water. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy through a medium or space, such as the sun heating the earth.
Energy source of most life on earth?
Most life on earth, gets there energy source from the sun, that is assuming that the majority of life on earth are autotrophs (plants). They get this energy by photosynthesising and getting a energy source called glucose, which is used in nearly all organisms on earth... they can then use glucose as a respiratory substrate, for respiration... Hope this helps :)
What transfers thermal energy through space?
There are three mechanisms by which thermal energy (heat) is transferred through space: conduction, convection, and radiation.1Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through empty space. All objects with a temperature above absolute zero radiate energy at a rate equal to their emissivity multiplied by the rate at which energy would radiate from them if they were a black body. No medium is necessary for radiation to occur; radiation works even in and through a perfect vacuum. The energy from the Sun travels through the vacuum of space before warming the earth. Also, the only way that energy can leave earth is by being radiated to space.The transfer of thermal energy through space is called Radiation
Which process causes the transfer of energy by air currents within the Earth's atmosphere?
convection
Were is the most thermal energy?
On Earth, the greatest source of thermal energy would be at the earth's core.
What is the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb thermal energy and radiate it back to earth called?
the greenhouse effect
Why must it be the sun that provides thermal energy to the earth?
Sun provides heat to earth's surface. It provides thermal energy to the earth.
What causes an increase in thermal energy?
An increase in thermal energy is caused by an increase in temperature of a substance, which leads to the molecules moving faster and having more kinetic energy. Other factors that can increase thermal energy include adding heat to a system or increasing the number of molecules in a system.
How thermal energy reaches Earth's surface?
Thermal energy reaches Earth's surface primarily through radiation from the sun. The sun emits electromagnetic radiation that travels through space and warms the Earth's surface upon contact. This process is known as solar radiation.
Why does the earth re radiate electromagnetic energy?
The Earth re-radiates electromagnetic energy due to its temperature. Like all objects, the Earth emits thermal radiation in the form of infrared energy as a result of its heat. This process helps maintain the Earth's energy balance.
When Earth cools most of the energy transferred from Earth's surface to space transferred by the process of?
Radiation
Is thermal energy required to form tornadoes?
Yes. All storms on earth are driven by thermal energy.
What are the two of the processes that shape the features of the earth?
The mantle convection process. The solar irradiation process. The earths rotational process These three processes provide the energy which drive all the other subsidiary process affecting the Earth's surface.
Where is thermal energy made?
thermal energy is made in numerous places, such as the earth's core, your body and space heaters. any where you feel heat is giving off thermal energy.
What is another name for the absorption of thermal energy by the atmosphere?
Another name for the absorption of thermal energy by the atmosphere is the greenhouse effect. This process involves certain gases in the atmosphere trapping heat from the sun, leading to an overall warming of the Earth's surface.
How does energy leave earth?
Energy leaves Earth primarily in the form of thermal radiation, which is emitted by the Earth's surface and atmosphere. This thermal radiation eventually escapes into space. Solar energy that is absorbed by the Earth's surface is also re-emitted as heat.
