When two substances that have different temperatures that touch each other heat moves from one to the other by?

conduction. This is the transfer of heat through direct contact between particles in a material. Heat flows from a higher temperature object to a lower temperature object until both reach thermal equilibrium.


What are some examples of advection in the field of meteorology?

Advection in meteorology refers to the horizontal movement of air or other substances. Some examples include warm air moving into a region, causing temperatures to rise, or cold air moving in, causing temperatures to drop. Another example is when moisture-laden air from the ocean moves over land, leading to increased humidity and possibly precipitation.


What three things can happen to a wave as it moves through different matterials?

A wave can be absorbed, reflected, or transmitted as it moves through different materials. Absorption occurs when the wave's energy is taken in by the material, reflection happens when the wave bounces off the material's surface, and transmission involves the wave passing through the material.


Why does the light refract?

Light refracts because it changes speed when it passes from one medium to another, causing it to change direction. This change in speed is due to light traveling at different velocities in different mediums, which results in the bending of the light rays.


What happens when a light ray moves from one substance to another?

When a light ray moves from one substance to another, it can undergo refraction, reflection, or absorption. Refraction occurs when the light ray changes speed and direction as it enters a new medium. Reflection happens when the light ray bounces off the surface between the two substances. Absorption occurs when the light ray is absorbed by the new medium.

What is a general name for the different substances or materials through which a wave moves?

The general name for the different substances or materials through which a wave moves is called a medium. Waves can travel through mediums like air, water, solids such as metal, or a vacuum in the case of electromagnetic waves.


Why are olivine crystals sometimes found in basaltic rock even though olivine is more dense than the basaltic lava that hardens?

Magma moves, it erupts out of volcanoes, and this can cause substances of different density to mix together. If these substances remained liquid, they would eventually settle out into layers by density, but if the rock hardens before this happens, then you have permanent mixing.

Evaporation occurs when two fronts of widely different moisture levels meet?

Evaporation is actually the process by which liquid water changes into vapor and moves into the atmosphere. When air masses with different moisture levels meet, it can lead to the formation of clouds, precipitation, or changes in weather patterns, but this is not directly related to evaporation.
