Why Does Conduction Matter?

How does conduction transfer heat in relation to weather?

• By heating the air from below
• By evaporating the air vertically
• By cooling the air from above
• By circulating the air horizontally

What does temperature measure?

• The thermal energy of an object
• The mass of an object
• The density of an object
• The volume of an object

What is the process that forms new molecules called?

• Thermal energy
• Chemical reaction
• Conduction
• Protein breakdown

What did you learn about conduction in relation to matter and energy during a storm?

• Conduction is the only way energy is transferred in storms
• Conduction is the main cause of storms
• Conduction is a way that energy is transferred and moved in storms
• Conduction is not involved in storms

What is conduction?

• The transfer of heat through evaporation
• The transfer of heat through molecular motion
• The transfer of heat through radiation
• The transfer of heat through convection

What causes the proteins in a raw egg to change form when heated?

• Evaporation of the liquid
• Radiation from the heat source
• Direct contact with heat
• Collisions between molecules

What is the process called when heat is transferred from one end of a metal rod to the other?

• Convection
• Evaporation
• Conduction
• Radiation

What is the role of conduction in the transfer of energy during a storm?

• Conduction transfers heat from the atmosphere to the ground
• Conduction transfers heat from the ground to the atmosphere
• Conduction is not involved in the transfer of energy during a storm
• Conduction causes lightning during a storm

What role do proteins play in cooking?

• They transfer heat through conduction
• They create new molecules
• They break down during cooking
• They increase the speed of molecular motion

How is heat transferred through conduction?

• By convection
• By direct contact
• By radiation
• By evaporation
