Radiation

Answer 1

The method of heat transfer by waves such as light which is how the suns energy reaches earth

Question 2

Conduction

Answer 2

The direct transfer of heat from one substance to another.

Question 3

Convection

Answer 3

The method of heat transfer in a fluid, gas, or liquid

Question 4

Heat transfer

Answer 4

radiation, conduction, convection

Question 5

Electromagnetic spectrum

Answer 5

The physical interaction among electric charges and electromagnetic fields

Question 6

Density

Answer 6

The amount of mass in something compared to the volume of of it

Question 7

Temperature

Answer 7

The amount of heat or cold in something

Question 8

Kinetic energy

Answer 8

Energy of motion

Question 9

Air pressure

Answer 9

The force exerted on a surface by the mass of the air above it

Question 10

Wind

Answer 10

The natural flow of air that is created by changes in temperature making the air change from high to low

Question 11

Evaporation

Answer 11

The process that changes liquid water into water vapor

Question 12

Condensation

Answer 12

The process of when water vapor turns back into a liquid

Question 13

Precipitation

Answer 13

Water from clouds that falls down in the form of rain,freezing rain, snow, and hail.

Question 14

Fluids

Answer 14

Substances were the particles are free to flow

Question 15

Solids

Answer 15

A state of matter that has a shape, mass and volume

Question 16

Plasticity

Answer 16

The ability of a sold to flow

Question 17

Differential heating

Answer 17

The difference in heating of air over land versus water.

Question 18

Land breezes

Answer 18

Occurs during the night when the land rapidly loses heat and the ocean water heats the air above it

Question 19

Sea breezes

Answer 19

Created during the day when the sun heats the land faster then the water

Question 20

How does heat affect density

Answer 20

It causes density to decrease

Question 21

What are three methods of heat transfer and how are they related

Answer 21

Convection, conduction, and radiation. They are all methods of heat transfer that each have different affects and sometimes they happen all at once.

Question 22

Apply radiation to meteorology

Answer 22

Radiation from the sun heats earths surface causing temp difference that drive weather patterns.

Question 23

Apply conduction to meteorology

Answer 23

The surface of earth heats the air so so a solid /liquid ground or water to gas.

Question 24

Apply convection to meteorology

Answer 24

Moves warm air up, and cool air down, creeating wind clouds and storms

Question 25

How would liquids with different temps layer

Answer 25

The warmest flows to the top. The coldest flows to the bottom

Question 26

What big ideas can help us explain weather

Answer 26

Wind, humidity, temp, air pressure

Question 27

Is the earth evenly heated

Answer 27

No because of earths shape and tilt some regions are warmer then others because of angle

Question 28

The suns energy indirectly hits different parts of earths surface.

Answer 28

What factors affect surface temperature on earth. (Switched)

Question 29

Why do different solutions layer

Answer 29

They have different densities more density sinks less dense floats

Question 30

How do gases flow in the atmosphere

Answer 30

More air is less dense and rises cool air is more dense and sinks

Question 31

Why do different locations on earth heats the air differently

Answer 31

Some places receive more heat then others because of earths rotation and it could also be because of its height above sea level the shape of it, and how close it is to the ocean

Question 32

How does lava lamp work

Answer 32

Lamp warms the wax making it less dense so it rises. As it gets near the top and cools it sinks because it’s less dense.

Question 33

When do land breezes occurs and why

Answer 33

During day because land heats faster then water

Question 34

At night because land cools faster then water

Answer 34

When do sea breezes occurs and why? (Switched)
