Question 12

starts in the Caribean and flows up the Eastern coastline at US and Canada, UP TO British isles

Answer 12

GULF STREAM:

Surface current

Question 13

Also called North Atlantic Drift

Answer 13

GULF STREAM:

Surface current

Question 14

The high heat of fusion and vaporization

Answer 14

Large reservoirs of heat

Question 15

water is a fluid and heat can be distributed

Answer 15

Large reservoirs of heat

Question 16

Areas with large bodies of water do not experience extreme weather change

Answer 16

Large reservoirs of heat

Question 17

It takes a lot of water to heat water, so water is a heat sink

Answer 17

Large bodies of water moderate temp and climate

Question 18

It absorbs a lot of solar radiation, keeping the region cooler during the day

Answer 18

Large bodies of water moderate temp and climate

Question 19

it slowly reradiates the heat at hight

Answer 19

Large bodies of water moderate temp and climate

Question 20

Huge air and ocean current distribute heat in amazing patterns around the earth, greatly affecting the climate and weather of many regions

Answer 20

Ocean currents

Question 21

Phase changes in the hydrologic cycle play a role in global transfer of thermal energy

Answer 21

Phase and Global Energy

Question 22

transfer of energy warms the air, which rises

Answer 22

Phase and Global Energy

Question 23

this can cause thunderstorm or hurricanes

Answer 23

Phase and Global Energy

Question 24

Different specific heat capacities of the earth’s different surfaces (sand, water, forest, etc) affect how much much they heat up the air and water around them.

Answer 24

Affects weather and climate

Question 25

The earth water absorbs a lot of heat from the surrounding when condensing and it releases a lot of heat when evaporating

Answer 25

Affects weather and climate - energy transfer types

Question 26

Energy absorbed with 1 mol of a substance changes from solid to liquid

Answer 26

Heat of Fusion - energy transfer types

Question 27

The energy released when 1 mol of a substance changes from liquid to solid

Answer 27

Heat of Solidification - energy transfer types

Question 28

Energy absorbed when 1 mol of substance changes from liquid to solid

Answer 28

Heat of Vaporation - energy transfer types

Question 29

the earth land or water surface heats up as it absorbs solar radiation

Answer 29

Heat capacity effects on weather and climate

Question 30

This thermal energy is transferred by conduction to surrounding cooler air or water causing convection currents in air and water

Answer 30

Heat capacity effects on weather and climate

Question 31

convection currents - air circulates and distributes heat ( remember warm air in less dense, rises, cooler air descends and takes it to place close to the ground. It heats up, etc..)

Answer 31

Convection (transfer of thermal energy in fluids- liquids and gases)
