Differences in density cause energy to be transferred by which method Is it absorption conduction convection or radiation?
convection
What layer drives the movement of plates?
Convection currents in the mantle drive plate movements.
What are the differences between the three methods of heat transfer?
Conduction, convection ,radiations are three methods of heat transfer. Conduction is carried out by direct contact with materials covection & radiation are carried out without any contact with the material
Is newt boiling in a hot cauldron convection conduction or radiation?
Conduction
Is an iron convection radiation or conduction?
convection
The differences in a materials is what drives convection?
Density
Is temperature the only factor that drives convection?
No Density also drives convection.
How differences in density affect convection?
Differences in density create variations in buoyancy in a fluid, which drives the process of convection. When a fluid is heated, it expands and becomes less dense, causing it to rise. Conversely, when a fluid is cooled, it contracts and becomes denser, causing it to sink. This continuous cycle of rising and sinking due to density differences creates the convection currents that lead to heat transfer in fluids.
What difference in a material drives convection?
density
What drives convection in Earth's atmosphere and oceans?
In Earth's atmosphere and oceans, convection is primarily driven by temperature differences. When a fluid is heated, it expands and becomes less dense, causing it to rise. As it rises, cooler, denser fluid moves in to take its place, creating a convection current. In the atmosphere, differences in solar radiation and surface heating contribute to the temperature variations that drive convection.
What types of materials does convection happen in?
Convection typically occurs in fluids such as liquids and gases, where the movement of molecules leads to the transfer of heat. In Earth's atmosphere, convection drives processes like cloud formation and weather patterns. It also plays a role in the movement of magma in the Earth's mantle.
What drives volcanic activity on Earth's surface?
Convection
What drives the plates together and apart?
Convection Current
Does the convection currents in the mantle are mainly caused by heat coming from the core?
Yes, convection currents in the mantle are mainly driven by heat coming from the Earth's core. Heat from the core creates temperature differences in the mantle, causing warmer, less dense materials to rise and cooler, denser materials to sink, thus setting up convection currents.
What materials does thermal transfer by convection take place in?
Convection
What are the differences of conduction and convection?
Convection has a cycle of what happens. Conduction dosent have a cycle
What is a good sentence for convection?
Convection is the movement of matter due to differences in density.
