A warm ocean current, for example, moves higher-temperature water from one place to another because it is carried along with the bulk motion of the water body. In a similar way, the motion of warm and cold air bodies (i.e., hot and cold fronts) in meteorology is an example of advect...
One of the many rewarding experiences of drinking tea is the savouring of the flavours in each sip. The true appreciation of the depths of flavour in a tea and how it begins, how it develops and then how it lingers afterwards is a never ending learning experience. . In this series of ...
So in the late 1700s, he conducted experiments involving red-hot iron balls. He noted that when the difference in temperature between the ball and the surrounding air was less than 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10 degrees Celsius), the rate of heat loss was proportional to the temperature difference...
Global warming is not a existential threat. Global warming means the world is getting hotter (milder winters, hotter summers). Which is of most concern for those who already live in hot places (like Adelaide or Dubai) but probably quite welcome if you live in Northern Europe, China, or Ame...
Plate motion requires a hot mantle. And indeed, as you go deeper into the Earth, the temperature increases. At the bottom of the plates, around 60 miles (100 kilometers) deep, the temperature is about 2,400 degreesFahrenheit(1,300 degreesCelsius). ...
volcanic hotspots are roughly 100 to 300 degreesCelsius(180-540 °F) hotter than mid-ocean ridges, where magma rises as tectonic plates spread apart underwater. This supported the view that hotspots were heated by matter from near Earth’s hot core and mid-ocean ridges by cooler mantle roc...
