Sentences with phrase «vast amounts of heat energy»

With one side of the Earth exposed to near absolute zero temperatures and the other exposed to the Sun; any theory has to take into account the movement of vast amounts of heat energy from hot to cold and vice versa.

They are overwhelmed when water turns to vapor or to ice, releasing and absorbing vast amounts of heat energy as CO2 can not possibly do.

While the planet's surface didn't warm as fast, vast amounts of heat energy continued to accumulate in the oceans and with the switch in the PDO, some of this energy could now spill back into the atmosphere.

Not exact matches

in other words «Bucky» the universe still contains a vast amount of heat and matter that can not be wished away just because the total gravitation energy might be zero or near zero.

Taken with the orbiting Chandra Observatory, it shows the hottest, most violent objects in the galaxy: black holes gobbling down matter, gas heated to millions of degrees by dense, whirling neutron stars, and the high - energy radiation from stars that have exploded, sending out vast amounts of material that slam into surrounding gas, creating shock waves that heat the gas tremendously, generating X-rays.

The U.S. healthcare system, the most expensive in the world, uses vast amounts of energy in the form of heating, electricity, and energy - intensive goods and services.

When an icy impact occurred, the impactor's kinetic energy became heat energy, instantly melted some ice, gouged out a crater, and kicked up into Mars» thin atmosphere large amounts of debris mixed with water (liquid, ice crystals, and vapor)-- and complex organic molecules that obviously came recently from life.127 Then, the dirt and salt - water mixture settled back to the surface in vast layers of thin sheets — strata — especially around the crater.

Lighting, heating and cooling those ballooning homes consumes vast amounts of energy compared to a city apartment — or a house half a century ago.

The ocean has vast amount of heat capacity, but our sky is also has a significant amount [not compared to ocean but compared to the total amount solar energy intersecting the earth in 24 hours].

AGW climate scientists seem to ignore that while the earth's surface may be warming, our atmosphere above 10,000 ft. above MSL is a refrigerator that can take water vapor scavenged from the vast oceans on earth (which are also a formidable heat sink), lift it to cold zones in the atmosphere by convective physical processes, chill it (removing vast amounts of heat from the atmosphere) or freeze it, (removing even more vast amounts of heat from the atmosphere) drop it on land and oceans as rain, sleet or snow, moisturizing and cooling the soil, cooling the oceans and building polar ice caps and even more importantly, increasing the albedo of the earth, with a critical negative feedback determining how much of the sun's energy is reflected back into space, changing the moment of inertia of the earth by removing water mass from equatorial latitudes and transporting this water vapor mass to the poles, reducing the earth's spin axis moment of inertia and speeding up its spin rate, etc..

A significant amount of this accumulated energy instead went into heating the world's oceans — especially the tropical Pacific, where vast quantities of heat were sequestered in the West Pacific Warm Pool and adjacent Indian Ocean.

Vast amounts of energy are lifted from the surface by evaporation in what's called «latent heat of vaporization».

The net flow of LW and latent heat is always from ocean to atmosphere and then to space when averaged across the planet, and the oceans receive the vast amount of their energy from SW solar.

The tropical oceans take up vast amounts of energy through air - sea heat fluxes, especially in the equatorial regions dominated by wind - driven upwelling of cold water.
