What three processes move energy from place to place?

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between objects. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of liquids or gases. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.


What is the movement of heat from place to place?

The movement of heat from one place to another is called heat transfer. It can occur through three main processes: conduction (transfer through direct contact), convection (transfer through fluid movement), and radiation (transfer through electromagnetic waves).


Explain the three methods of heat transfer as they work to heat the earth and the earths atmosphere?

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between molecules. In the Earth's atmosphere, conduction occurs as the Earth's surface heats up the air molecules in contact with it. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of liquids or gases. In the Earth's atmosphere, convection currents are created as warm air rises and cool air sinks, leading to the transfer of heat. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves. The Sun radiates heat through space and warms the Earth's surface and atmosphere when the electromagnetic waves are absorbed.


How do heat moves?

Heat can move through three main processes: conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of liquids or gases. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.


How does heat transfer in the atmosphere?

Well to tell you the truth I have no clue I hope this was helpful.

How is thermal energy transferred on Earth's surface?

Thermal energy is transferred on Earth's surface through three main processes: conduction (direct transfer through material contact), convection (transfer through fluid movement), and radiation (transfer through electromagnetic waves). These processes work together to distribute heat and regulate temperature across the surface of the Earth.
