Unit 3 : Convection Quick Check

When matter is heated, it becomes...

• More dense. Atoms will move closer together.

• Less dense. Atoms will move closer together.

• More dense. Atoms will move farther apart.

• Less dense. Atoms will move farther apart.

What is density?

• It is a measure of the length and width of an object.

• It is a measure of the mass of an object.

• It is a measure of how many atoms are in a certain amount of space and how tightly they are packed.

• It is a measure of how long it takes an object to float in water.

What is this image attempting to demonstrate?

• It is demonstrating how heat can be used to create convection currents.

• It is demonstrating that warm air will sink and cold air will rise.

• It is demonstrating how to cook Thanksgiving dinner.

• It is demonstrating the mechanical components of a microwave oven.

How is wind created on Earth?

• Unequal heating of Earth's surface causes warm pockets of air to sink and cold pockets of air to rise.

• Unequal heating of Earth's surface causes warm pockets of air to rise and cold pockets of air to sink.

• The Earth's rotation creates wind.

• The Earth's revolution creates wind.

How are wind and ocean currents similar?

• Both are created through radiation- when warm matter rises and cold matter sinks.

• Both are created through conduction- when warm matter rises and cold matter sinks.

• Both are created through convection- when warm matter rises and cold matter sinks.

• They have nothing in common.
