from the body‚ and explain the various mechanisms involved in regulation of body temperature. Briefly indicate how excessive cold and heat affect the body". The body gains and loses heat through the external environment by radiation‚ conduction‚ convection and evaporation of water. These are all physical mechanisms known to the human body. (Vander‚ Sherman & Luciano 1998). Radiation is an infrared energy between two objects that have no physical contact with each other. Heat is gained by radiation

Penney Byrne is a perfect example of het postmodern art and how it challenges the convections in art. “Humor‚ satire‚ and parody are essential ingredients in my work. Even though a title might sound flippant it is never meant to be‚ it is meant to make people think about the particular issue‚ or educate them about a particular issue as well

conductor can pass on this energy much quicker. • Shiny‚ light surfaces reflect radiation the best. • Convection occurs with only liquids or gases. • Hot‚ light air rises‚ whilst cold‚ dense air sinks. This causes convection current in gases and liquids. • This occurs because fluids expand when heated making them lighter. • Vacuum flask: o Vacuum cuts out heat transfer by conduction and convection. o Glass is poor conductor so little heat conducted here. o Glass surfaces are silvery to reduce

2831 5.1.3 (c) Palaeomagnetism and reversals in the Earths Magnetic field Origin of the Earths Magnetic Field The Earth’s magnetic field results partly from convection currents in the outer core and changes in the magnetic field may reflect changes in the pattern and strength of the convection currents in the outer core. Indeed‚ the rate of westward drift of the field indicates fluid flow at a rate of about 1 mm/s in the outer core. Ancient magnetism - Palaeomagnetism Evidence

Geo assessment Mt Etna An eruption begins when pressure on a magma chamber forces magma up through the conduit and out the volcano’s vents. When the magma chamber has been completely filled‚ the pressure in the pipe will build up very high resulting in an explosion. When magma reaches earth’s surface it is called lava. It may pour out in gentle streams called lava flows or erupt violently into the air. Rocks ripped loose from the inside of the volcano or torn apart by the gas may be shot into the

Thermodynamics Section Review 9A: 1. Scientists believed that the caloric was a material but mainly that it was an invisible fluid consisting of self-repelling particles. Two examples include how gases expand according to Newton’s laws‚ and determining the speed of sound in air. 2. The first person to successfully challenge the caloric theory was Benjamin Thompson. Benjamin observed that a dull boring bit could generate more hat than needed to melt the entire cannon barrel. 3. The significance

the ionosphere. Atmospheric density decreases steadily as altitude increases. As altitude increase so does the pressure relative to ground level. Figure [ 1 ]Earth ’s Atmosphere The troposphere is the area of Earth’s atmosphere in which convection takes place. It is the constant upwelling of warm air and the concurrent downward flow of cool air to physically take its place. When the Earth is heated by the sun‚ the air becomes warmer and expands therefore it becomes buoyant‚ less dense‚ and

reducing the effects of thermal conduction‚ convection and radiation. Heat insulation can take different forms depending on the type of heat transfer involved. The question arises as to which solid material is good for heat insulation. Non- metals are good heat insulators. Examples of non- metals used as insulators include wood‚ glass and plastics. Gases are good insulators if you can stop them moving. This prevents them from transferring heat by convection. An example of trapped gases used as insulators
