Two siblings live in a two-story house with a heating and cooling unit for each floor. The two have decided to conduct an experiment to determine the need to turn both units on throughout the daytime during the winter to stay warm. They decided to use both units for two weeks and recorded their observations. The following two weeks, they only used the downstairs unit and recorded their observations.



Every day they charted whether upstairs and downstairs were either too cold, cold, warm, too warm, or hot. They tallied their results, learning that the two weeks of using both units; the house was a bit too warm. The month where only the downstairs unit was used, they noted downstairs and upstairs were warm. This did not support their prediction that it would be cold.



They began to wonder how upstairs could still be warm during the daytime when only using the downstairs unit. What is the best possible explanation for upstairs being warm throughout the winter month when they only turned on the downstairs unit?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Convection

Explanation:

Hot air rises as it has less particles and more volume. This means that when they heat downstairs, the hot air rises to the top. Then, it cools and sinks because cold air has more particles and less volume. It heats up again from the downstairs unit and the cycle keeps going. This is called convection
Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

The volume of warm air expands and rises, warming the whole house through convection.

Microorganism a play an important role in creating nutrient-rich soil true or false

Answers

This is true. Microorganisms help with decomposition which in turn means that the nutrients are going into the ground. This is not the only way however, but it is good for confirming that it is true.

Answer: True

Explanation :

There are a large number of microorganisms that are present in the soil which plays an important role in making the soil rich in nutrients.

The degradation of the organic matter present in the soil is done by the action of several enzymes released by these microorganisms and hence, this leads to the release of several nutrients into the soil.
