Heat Transfer Review

What is differential heating?

• The process by which heat is evenly distributed across all materials.
• The process by which different materials absorb and release heat at the same rate.
• The process by which different materials or surfaces absorb and retain heat at different rates.
• The process by which all materials absorb and retain heat at the same rate.

What does differential heating help cause?

• Movement of air and formation of weather patterns (wind)

• Formation of ocean currents
• Decrease in atmospheric pressure
• Creation of new landmasses

What is the difference between conduction, convection, and radiation?

• Conduction is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids, convection is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, and radiation is the transfer of heat through direct contact.
• Conduction is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, convection is the transfer of heat through direct contact, and radiation is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids.
• Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact, convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids, and radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.
• Conduction is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids, convection is the transfer of heat through direct contact, and radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.

What is heat actually? (in terms of energy)

• A type of matter
• A form of light
• A type of kinetic sound

• A measure of kinetic energy

How does heat "flow"?

• Heat flows based on the color of the object.
• Heat flows from high pressure to low pressure.

• Heat flows from a cooler object to a warmer object.
• Heat flows in a circular motion within an object.

How does the atmosphere heat up?

• Through the process of photosynthesis
• Through the process of evaporation
• By absorbing heat from the sun
• Through the process of convection

Where would you find high pressure in a convection cell?

• Where the air comes down

• where the air goes up

• in the middle

• no special place

Where would you find low pressure in a convection cell?

• Where the air comes down

• where the air goes up

• in the middle

• no special place

Why does air move from high to low pressure areas?

• Humidity level
• Temperature difference
• Pressure difference
• Wind direction

How do land breezes work?

• Land breezes are caused by the rotation of the Earth.
• Land breezes are caused by the temperature difference between the land and the water.
• Land breezes are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon.
• Land breezes are caused by the movement of ocean currents.
