Front

What is the process that redistributes heat to maintain a global temperature?

Back

Convection.

Front

What type of weather can be expected with a warm front and high pressure?

Back

Warm, humid weather.

Front

What is a hurricane called in the southern hemisphere?

Back

How does convection move heat energy?

Back

Through a liquid or a gas.

Front

What is convection?

Back

The transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids and gases).

Front

What is the role of warm water in hurricane formation?

Back

It provides the heat energy needed for the hurricane to develop.

Front

What happens to air pressure in a hurricane?

Back

It decreases, creating a low-pressure system.

Front

What type of weather is associated with high pressure systems?

Back

Clear skies and dry weather.

Front

What is the difference between conduction and convection?

Back

Conduction transfers heat through direct contact, while convection transfers heat through the movement of fluids.
