How do turtles get their energy from the ocean?
well it gets the energy by the water and food and currents.
Where does a storm gets its energy?
From the Sun. (The Sun's energy causes water to evaporate and heat air. the latent heat of the evaporation and the hot air drive the storm).
What is the source of energy of a developing typhoon?
All tropical cyclones form as a result of heat energy from the sun, which warms the surface waters in the tropical zone near Earth's equator.Normally, warm ocean water evaporates, rises into the atmosphere, cools off to form clouds, and eventually falls back in the form of rain. However, if the atmosphere has just the right degree of instability, the rising warm water vapor will start rotating due to a geophysical phenomenon called the Coreolis Effect., and a cyclone will begin to form. Eventually the rotation can reach speeds of over 100 mph, although there is no wind at all in the very center of the cyclone called the Eye of the storm.Every minute, a tropical cyclone can absorb and release as much energy as that from a large atomic fission bomb. A cyclone will continue to grow in strength as long as it has a supply of warm water to provide it with energy, but it will quickly dissipate when the energy source disappears (such as when the cyclone moves over land or enters a region of cooler water).Cyclones are given several different names depending on their strength and locaction. Tropical depressions, tropical storms, typhoons and hurricanes are all cyclones.
Where does a hurricane get its water?
A hurricane gets its water from the warm ocean surface, where it evaporates and forms a large amount of water vapor. This water vapor provides the fuel for the storm to intensify and generate heavy rainfall.
Why does the US get more hurricanes then Canada?
A hurricane gets it's energy from warm sea water. The farther north you go, the colder the ocean is, so by the time a hurricane works it's way up to Canada, the cooler water has caused the storm to lose strength. The warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic farther south on the US coastline provide fuel for the storm. thank you
Where the fall or stream get water from?
it gets water from the rain and the ocean
Where is the ocean most dense?
The ocean is most dense towards the bottom of the sea. As the water in the ocean gets colder it gets more dense.
What is meant by thermal expansion of the ocean?
It probably means that if the ocean water gets warmer, it will expand slightly.It probably means that if the ocean water gets warmer, it will expand slightly.It probably means that if the ocean water gets warmer, it will expand slightly.It probably means that if the ocean water gets warmer, it will expand slightly.
How does water gets energy from the sun?
Energy that water gets from the sun is most commonly absorbed in the form of heat.
What happens to ocean water as it becomes denser?
The water gets cooler
Can cold ocean water affect a hurricane?
They do cool the ocean somewhat, but not for the reason many people think. Hurricanes require warm waters to develop, as they derive their energy from the water. But it is not as if they take the water's warmth and turn it into energy. The water evaporates from the ocean and rises, where it eventually condenses into clouds and rain. It is in this condensation process that latent heat is released, really fueling the storm. The temperature of the ocean does not change in this process.Hurricanes cool the ocean (slightly) by literally churning the water, which allows cooler water from below to be up-welled and replace the warmer water. Since water is of course warmest at the surface (since it is heated from above and the warmest water rises anyway), any turbulent wave motion generated by storms will tend to mix up that top layer. As you might guess, the stronger the storm, the more it gets mixed. It eventually returns to its "normal" temperature, however.
What causes a hurricane to decrease its strength?
Hurricanes weaken when they are not over warm water or are over cooler water. (You couldn't have a hurricane in an area that is not near warm water). When they come to land the energy from the wind is lessened by the land formations as both land and cold water cut off a hurricane from the warm water the provides its energy.
