TYPES OF HEAT TRANSFER!

Conduction: the transfer of
heat by direct contact

Convection: the transfer of
heat through the circular
movement of liquids and
gases

Radiation: the transfer of
heat through
electromagnetic waves

IDENTIFY THE TYPE OF HEAT TRANSFER!

Read through each
scenario and decide if it
is describing convection,
conduction, or radiation.

• Convection

• Conduction

• Radiation

• Don't choose this one.

Draw

Draw a diagram illustrating how convection works in the atmosphere.

​

Multiple Choice

True or False: Differences in air pressure are created by the unequal heating of the Earth.

• True

• False

• Dark colors absorb light and heat, meaning that they get hot faster

• Water changes temperatures very slowly, meaning it takes a long time to heat up and a long time to cool down.

​

​Unequal heating - Local Winds

Multiple Choice

During the DAY, which will be WARMER?

• The ocean

• Land

Multiple Choice

During the NIGHT, which will be COOLER?

• The ocean

• Land

• ​During the DAY, land heats up faster (hot = low air pressure)

• Cooler air above the ocean has higher pressure and wants to move to the land.

• Heat rises creating convection

Sea Breeze

​Sea Breeze

​Land Breeze

• ​At NIGHT, land cools down faster (cold = high air pressure)

• Cool land air wants to go to move to the lower pressure at sea

• Heat rises and creates a convection current

Land Breeze

​Sea Breeze

​Land Breeze

• The Earth is round and on a tilt, making the suns rays hit our planet at many different angles

• Global winds across the Earth are caused by this uneven heating
  

Multiple Choice

Which part of our Earth receives the most direct sunlight?

• Equator

• North Pole

• South Pole

• Ohio
