What moves steadily in a constant stream or current?

Water in a river or stream moves steadily in a constant current.


How is the jet streem related to convection?

The jet stream is a narrow band of strong winds in the upper atmosphere that is driven by the temperature difference between air masses. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluid (in this case, air). The jet stream is influenced by the temperature contrasts created by convection, particularly between the polar and tropical air masses.


What is convection used for?

Convection is used to transfer heat or mass through fluids like air or water by the movement of the fluid itself. This process helps distribute heat evenly in a room through convection heaters or circulate warm or cool air in buildings using HVAC systems. In cooking, convection ovens use a fan to circulate hot air, reducing cooking time and providing even baking.


What is Electric charge flowing in a steady stream called?

Electric charge flowing in a steady stream is called electric current. It is the rate of flow of electric charge and is measured in Amperes (A).


What are three ways heat can travel?

Conduction (through e.g. solid materials like metals that allow heat through - like a saucepan base) It is transformed into another object by touchConvection - in liquids and gases. Hot substances expand and so are less dense than cold substances. These less dense liquids and gases rise and cool ones fall forming a current. as an example, convector heaters in your home, the Gulf Stream that brings warm water from the Caribbean to Europe.Radiation - the method by which energy is transferred through a vacuum e.g. in the infra red heat energy from the sun as it travels across the vacuum of space.radiation, convection and conduction.
