Sentences with phrase «convection currents reach»

Not exact matches

When rising air reaches a layer of adiabatically heated air the rising convection currents stop and the surface heat is trapped just like the raised windows in your car trap the heat.

showing how EM radiation, heat and air / water kinetic energy (in cells, circulations, currents, weather systems and convection columns and so on) move and how long they have to move before they reach some kind of equilibrium would go some way to visualising why it takes time for the earth system to respond to radiative forcing (commitment time lag).
