Ch7/8 S5-S6 Heat Transfer/Atmosphere/S1-S5 Weather

The total energy of motion in the particles of a substance

• Conduction

• Convection

• Convection current

• Thermal energy

• Thermometer

It is caused by the upward movement of warm air and the downward movement of cool air.

These move heat through the troposphere.

• Radiation

The transfer of thermal energy from a hotter object to a cooler one.

• Conduction

• Heat

• Radiation

The horizontal movement of air from an area of high pressure to an area of lower pressure. They are caused by differences in air pressure.

• Anemometer

• Local winds

• Sea breeze

• Wind

• Wind-chill factor

Bands of high-speed winds that are hundreds of kilometers wide but only a few kilometers deep. They generally blow from west to east at speeds of 200 to 400 kilometers per hour.

• Coriolis effect

• Global wind

• Jet stream

• Land breeze

• Latitude

An instrument that measures wind speed.
