What keeps our planet at a temperature that can support life?
Why are some parts of the planet warmer than others?
How does transfer of thermal energy relate to earthquakes and volcanoes?

Answer 1

Several things regulate the temperature but the 2 biggest factors are the atmosphere and oceans. Water is able to absorb and hold a lot of energy (heat from the sun) and give it off slowly, thus keeping the earth warm at night and moving warm water to cold regions, like the poles. The atmosphere regulates it by allowing heat to radiate out into space, countered by green house gasses that keep it in. In Thermodynamics the transfer of thermal energy from a

warmer object
