Wind

Question 1

Which of the climate zones is the US found

Answer 1

The temperate zone

Question 2

Doldrums

Answer 2

Area near equator where “winds are born” but is windless

Question 3

Convection

Answer 3

Heat transfers through gas or liquid with predictable circular pattern because heat rises and the cool liquid/gas falls.

Question 4

Conduction

Answer 4

Heat transfers through physical touch

Question 5

Radiation

Answer 5

Heat transferred from the sun or from some kind of infrared heating up an object without physical contact

Question 6

Density

Answer 6

D = m/v , the amount of “stuff” in an object

Question 7

What fluids rise and what fluids fall?

Answer 7

Hot things rise, and cool things fall. (Hot things are less dense)

Question 8

What will happen if you open the door of a cold house into the hot outside?

Answer 8

The energy will try to reach equilibrium of Temperatures by mixing together

Question 9

An insulator

Answer 9

Materials that stop flow of heat, holds in it

Question 10

A conductor

Answer 10

Allows heat to transfer through it, CONDUCTS it

Question 11

Albedo

Answer 11

How much heat is reflected of an object

Question 12

What affects and objects albedo?

Answer 12

It’s color (lighter things have higher albedo)

Question 13

Heat capacity (specific heat)

Answer 13

How well an object can hold heat, and how hot it needs to get to release that heat

Question 14

What material has the highest heat capacity?

Answer 14

Water

Question 15

What kind of air mass holds more water vapor?

Answer 15

The hotter the air, the more water vapor it can hold until it’s saturated

Question 16

Correct spelling of temp.

Answer 16

Temperature

Question 17

What kind of winds does the US have?

Answer 17

Prevailing Westerlies

Question 18

Difference of energy of cool and warm things

Answer 18

The warmer something Is, the greater it’s thermal energy. Colder object’s molecules move slower since it has less thermal energy.

Question 19

Movement of energy hot to cold

Answer 19

Heat flows from hot to cold objects. When a hot and a cold body are in thermal contact, they exchange heat energy until they reach thermal equilibrium, with the hot body cooling down and the cold body warming up.

Question 20

High air pressure to low air pressure

Answer 20

Air will always move from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure to attempt to reach equilibrium.

Question 21

If the sun beats down on land and water at the same time, what will happen?

Answer 21

Since water has a higher heat capacity, it will trap the heat. But since the lands albedo is higher the heat will go into the air and RISE. this air will rise and be set on top of the water.
