Heat Transfer 4b Edited

Why are sea breezes felt during the day and land breezes at night?

• High tides cool off the beach, causing a sea breeze at night and a

  land breeze during the day.

• High tides cool off the beach, causing a land breeze at night and a

  sea breeze during the day.

• The land and the air above it heats and cools faster than the water,

  causing a land breeze at night and a sea breeze during the day.

• The land and the air above it heats and cools slower than the water,

  causing a land breeze at night and a sea breeze during the day.

Which of the following explains how the three heat transfers work together to heat the troposphere?

• The sun heats the ground through radiation, then the ground heats the air through conduction, and then convection carries the warm air throughout the troposphere.

• .The sun heats the ground through conduction, then the ground heats the air through radiation, and then convection carries the warm air throughout the troposphere.

• The sun heats the air through radiation, then the warm air is carried throughout the troposphere through convection, and then the air heats the ground through conduction.

• The sun heats the air through convection, then the air heats the ground through radiation, and then the ground spreads the heat throughout the troposphere through conduction.

During the daytime, the land warms up faster than water causing

the air above the land to be less dense and rise into the

atmosphere. What will this cause?

• land breeze

• sea breeze

• global wind

• jet stream

Which statement is true about a breeze that occurs on the beach at NIGHT?

• Land cools off slower than water, so the air above the water is cooler.

• Water cools off faster than land, so the air above the land is warmer.

• Land heats up slower than water, so the air stays cooler during the day.

• Water cools off slower than land, so the air above the water is warmer.

What causes differences in air pressure?

• equal heating of the Earth

• unequal heating of the Earth

• even cooling of the Earth

• Global Warming

Which of the following is an example of radiation in the atmosphere?

• Warm air rising from the ground, and cool air sinking from the upper troposphere.

• Air molecules near the ground touching the heated land.

• Heating of the surface of the land through infrared radiation or empty space

• Warm air sinking to the ground and cool air rising to the upper troposphere.

You were asked to plan and carry out an investigation to show how water and land heat up and cool down at different rates. Which of the following predictions is best supported by the data?

• The temperatures of the soil and the water would rise at the same average rate because the same light is being used to heat it up.

• The temperature of the soil would not rise at all over the next time period because the soil temperature has reached its maximum temperature.

  .

• The temperature of the water would rise at a faster average rate than the average rate that the temperature of the soil would rise because water heats up faster than soil.

• The temperature of the soil would rise at a faster average rate than the average rate that the temperature of the water would rise because soil heats up faster than water.

Which of the following statements describes heat transfer through the troposphere?

• When heat is transferred from one object to another through electromagnetic waves.

• When heat is transferred from one object to another by currents causing warm air to rise and cold air to sink.

• When heat is transferred from one object to another through direct contact or touching.

• When heat is transferred from one object to another by currents causing cold air to rise and warm air to sink.

Why do we have land and sea breezes?

• Land and water heat and cool at the same rate

• Land heats up and cools down slower than water

• Land heats up and cools down faster than water
