Thermal Energy - Unit 3 - Lesson 2 Ohio Science Fusion

The transfer of thermal energy from one place to another that occurs in fluids (liquid or gases)

• Convection

• Radiation

• Conduction

• Thermal Energy

The transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves, like those of the Sun.

• radiation
• conduction
• convection
• absorption

The TOTAL kinetic energy of all particles of an object

• kinetic energy

• Average kinetic energy of all particles
• thermal energy

• Total energy of all particles

Movement of energy from one place or object to another.

• energy transfer

• energy conversion

• energy distribution

• energy storage

The movement of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object.

• heat

• convection

• conduction

• radiation

The AVERAGE kinetic energy of particles in a material.

• Pressure
• Volume
• Temperature
• Density

A cycle in which convection causes the rising of heated fluid and the sinking of cooled fluid.

• surface current

• deep current

• convection current

• fluid current

A temperature scale in which water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees. Used all over the world.

• Celsius
• Rankine
• Kelvin
• Fahrenheit

How much matter fits into a space. Mass/volume

• Volume

• Area

• Weight

• Density

This type of heat transfer happens when 2 things are in DIRECT CONTACT

• convection
• radiation
• evaporation
• conduction
