What is radiation?

Back

Radiation is the transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as sunlight reaching the Earth.

Front

What causes a land breeze?

Back

A land breeze originates from the land and blows towards the sea, typically occurring at night when the land cools faster than the water.

Front

How is wind formed?

Back

Wind is formed due to the uneven heating of the atmosphere, which creates areas of high and low pressure.

Front

From where does wind move?

Back

Wind always moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.

Front

What is a sea breeze?

Back

A sea breeze originates from the sea and blows towards the land, usually occurring during the day when the land heats up faster than the water.

Front

What is convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases) caused by differences in temperature and density.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials, where heat moves from the hotter object to the cooler one.

Front

What is the role of the Sun in heat transfer?

Back

The Sun provides energy that heats the Earth's surface, which in turn heats the air above it, leading to various weather patterns.

Front

What is thermal energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of particles in a substance, which determines its temperature.

Front

What is the difference between high pressure and low pressure?

Back

High pressure is associated with cooler, denser air, while low pressure is associated with warmer, less dense air.
