Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through space by electromagnetic radiation. Most of the electromagnetic radiation that comes to earth from the sun is in the form of visible light. Light is made of waves of different frequencies.

Thermal energy on earth is formed by heat, so solar thermal energy is when the suns rays heat up the water, vaporizing it and turning it to steam. in which the steam is then used to create mechanical energy in a turbine

Hello?? Can anyone help me??! PLEASE

kolezko [41]

Answer:

The temperature is staying the same. In the graph when it shows solid/liquid and liquid/gas, the temperature stays the same until it changes. This is because it reached it's melting point/vaporizing point. For example, a solid gets heated up, it then reaches it's melting point but it can't go higher than that because it isn't fully a liquid yet, once it's a liquid it will then continue to rise in temperature.

I don't think I put enough detail into that explanation but I hope this helps your problem.

german

Answer:

The correct option is Blood cells are produced in bone marrow.

Explanation:

Skeletal system can be described as the system which comprises of all the bones and joints of an organism. The main function of the skeleton system is to provide support and protection to the organism.

The circulatory system can be described as a system which comprises of the heart, blood vessels and blood. This system is mainly involved in the transportation of substances like oxygen, nutrients etc in the body.

The skeletal system interacts with many other systems of the body and helps them perform their functions. For example, the skeletal system interacts with the muscular system so that a muscle can contract and relax.

The skeletal system interacts with the circulatory system by producing blood cells in the bone marrow. Red blood cells, as well as white blood cells, are produced by this process.
