which is not a characteristic of a thermal low course hero

Where is the lowest pressure?

d. lowest pressure is at the center.

Which type of turbulence is the most severe?

Thermal turbulence above the surface is usually most severe

Which type of wind is the strongest?

Surface winds are generally strongest and most gusty

What are the clouds that appear above isolated mountain peaks?

Cumulus clouds that appear above isolated mountain peaks are often the result of

What is thermal expansion?

Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in shape, area, and volume in response to a change in temperature, through heat transfer.

Why does water expand when it freezes?

Well, since you didn’t specify that the problem is caused by an increase in temperature , here’s the opposite. When water freezes, it expands because ice at 0 deg.C is less dense than water at that temperature. It’s a common event in cold regions. Above freezing, liquid water fills the pipes. As night falls, pipes can become colder than freezing and since the pipes are closed off, the expanding ice bursts the pipes. Next day, the ice thaws and the pipes now leak water into your basement, for example. The problem can be prevented by wrapping the coldest part of the water pipe as it enters your h

What is a bimetallic thermostat?

A common type of thermostat is the bimetallic strip. Two metals with different expansion coefficients (expansion percentage for a given amount of heat) are bonded. When heat is applied, the strip bends. This can close or open a contact. These types of thermostats are used in home heating and air condition systems and on electric stove burners and ovens.

How does a thermostat work?

Thermostats in commercial vehicle engines use thermal expansion of solid material to determine as how to flow engine cooling fluid . . . . either flow the cold fluid back to the engine and avoid the radiator . . . . . or if the fluid is hot, direct the flow of the cooling fluid through the radiator.

How does hot air balloon work?

Hot air balloons rely on thermal expansion of air - hotter air is thinner, but, if kept hot in a closed container , puts pressure outward to keep the bag large. The expanded, lighter hot air inside the bag produces lift.

When stress doesn't develop, what happens?

When stress doesn’t develop (Free End): In case of free end when we increase the temperature ,kinetic energy of molecule get increase and these molecule vibrate more (vibrational amplitude increase). so due to this extended vibration strain is produce. Molecule are not resisting its movement they are trying to go away them self. Since no restriction is there no stress will be develop in case of free end.

Does ice have a negative coefficient?

Yes, and many materials have a negative one too! Ice around 4 has a zero coefficient, it shrinks on heating and on cooling;)
