Why are Gas Giants cold in the surface and warm towards the core?
This is because the gas giants are a lot further away from the sun than we are and therefore the incident sunlight rays reaching the surface are less therefore making the surface gases on these planets cool. The reason that the gases closer to the planets core are hotter has to do with the enormous gravity of these gas giants. The sun too is a gas giant only it is much larger and this tells us something. The suns center is also much hotter than its surface because of the tremendous pressures according to Boyle's law the temperature rises when pressure increases if the volume remains the same. If the gas giants were as big as the sun, then they would reach critical mass and ignite too! But they aren't as big and so their cores just get hot, but not hot enough for fusion. Corey Wood
Can you explain why the top of cold-core rings are concave and at the top warm rings convex?
Cold-core rings are typically characterized by colder water at their center, creating a density gradient that causes the surface to dip inward, resulting in a concave shape. Conversely, warm-core rings have warmer water at their center, leading to a buoyancy effect that causes the surface to bulge outward, creating a convex shape. These formations are influenced by the thermohaline properties of the water and the dynamics of ocean currents. Thus, the concave and convex shapes reflect the underlying temperature and density distributions within the rings.
Why do we see water droplets on the outer surface of a glass containing ice-cold water?
That is because warm air outside the glass contains moisture and that moisture condenses on cold surfaces since cold air on the glass surface cannot hold as much moisture as warm air. It is the same effect as fog on the bathroom mirror after running a hot shower.
Where cold surface air is replacing warm air the boundary separating the different bodies of air is termed as?
The boundary separating cold surface air replacing warm air is called a cold front. Cold fronts occur when a cold air mass moves into an area occupied by warmer air, causing a sharp transition in temperature and potentially leading to stormy weather.
Why would you find more salinity at the surface of warm ocean water than cold ocean waters?
Warm water can carry more salt than cold water can.
Why are warm currents warm and cold currents cold?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface

What does the cardiovascular system do for temperature?
Helps the body maintain homeostasis. If you are too warm blood travel closer to the surface to dissipate heat. if you are too cold blood will stay closer to your core to keep your vital organs warm.
Why are some currents cold and some warm?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
What to when you have cold hands and feets?
If you have cold hands and feet, the blood is flowing to the core to keep it warm. The core is more important that the limbs. Put on more clothing.
How do warm and cold surface currents move?
Coriolis effect
What happens when fronts meet?
When fronts meet from the opposite and collide, it is called an occluded front. A cold occluded front is cold air shoving under cool air at the Earth's surface thus the name 'cold occlusion'. The cold warm air boundary aloft is often west of the surface front. A warm occlusion is when cool air rises over cold air at the surface thus the name 'warm occlusion'. The warm-cold air boundary aloft is often east of the surface front. By Lisa Gardiner
Why are some density currents warm and others cold?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
What do Eddies in the Gulf Stream break off to form?
Cold-or-warm core rings
How is an ocean current considered to be warm or cold?
Warm or cold defines the temperature of the water. In general warm currents flow north and cold currents flow south. That makes sense. Also warm currents flow on the surface and cold currents flow deep since cold water is denser than warm water.
Is a coral reef cold or hot?
it is usually hot or warm near the surface and cold down below
How does the process of convection helps warm the earth's surface?
The Earth's mantle is a plastic substance which undergoes convection due to the heat of the core. Warm material rises up from near the core to just under the crust. The heat that it carried from the core is released into the crust, thus warming the surface. The cooled material then descends back to the core.
