Which of the following results from the fact that there is movement (currents) in heat transferring media?
A) Heat energy is more evenly distributed in soil and rock than in water.
B) Heat energy tends to concentrate in one spot.
C) Warmer and cooler water mix, thereby spreading heat over a greater volume.
D) None of the above-currents have no effect on either land or water body temperatures.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When there are movements or currents in the heat transferring medium such as water, warmer and cooler water mix, which helps in spreading heat over a greater volume. This is known as convection and helps in evenly distributing heat in the water. Therefore, option C is correct. Option A is incorrect as currents do not affect the distribution of heat in soil and rock. Option B is also incorrect as currents do not concentrate heat energy in one spot. Option D is incorrect as currents have an effect on the temperature of both land and water bodies.
