When Flow of heat by direct contact is known as?
False... The flow of heat through direct contact is conduction.
Why is it important to know heat can move?
The proper flow of heat is essential to many process and situations. Flow of too much heat from a person may cause hypothermia and death. Inadequate flow of heat from a person in the Summer may lead to heat stroke and death. Many processes require cooling and/or heating by heat flow. Inadequate heat transfer may limit a process or require shutdown of a process.
What way can heat never flow?
From cold to hot.
The flow that transfers heat within a fluid?
Convection
What is the heat transfer mechanism responsible for the daily wind cycle?
heat transfer through convection.
How do mountains create their own local winds?
Mountains can not create a wind. Winds are the result of the heat coming from the Sun and the heat radiated by the Earth into space. They are the atmospheres response to the differential of heat within the atmosphere. All mountains do is modify the the flow of the wind as they act as barriers to this flow.
When winds generally flow away from the equator and towards the poles what transfer of wind does this cause?
an energy transfer, with heat energy moving away from the equator
Does heat flow cooler or smaller object?
Heat flow's from cooler objects.
Is heat flow the same between the continental and oceanic crust?
Apparently No, heat flow in oceanic crust is higher than continental crust
What are some outher things that the sun gives off then heat and light?
The Solar Wind. it's a flow of charged particles ejected from the sun. a magnetic field.
Why does a flame bend toward the wind?
A flame bends toward the wind because the flow of air carries the heat and combustion products away, creating an area of lower pressure on the windward side of the flame. This pressure difference causes the flame to lean in the direction of the wind.
Why does wind usually flow west to east?
Because of the measure of the wind
Does heat energy flow indefinitely?
No, heat energy does not flow indefinitely. It will continue to flow until a thermal equilibrium is reached where all objects involved reach the same temperature. Once this equilibrium is achieved, there will be no further flow of heat energy.
Winds generally flow away from the equator and towards the poles. What transfer does this flow of wind cause?
an energy transfer, with heat energy moving away from the equator. Studyisland question. Hope it helps :) Studyisland sucks especially when you are stuck.
How does energy flow the sun to the earth?
Mostly by electromagnetic radiation - heat and light. But there is a Solar Wind that consists of real particles. This causes Aurora on earth at high latitudes.
What is downward heat flow?
negative heat
What three things make heat flow?
Heat flow is made by conduction, convection or radiation.
