Weather, Matter, and Heat Transfer Review

What are the three states of matter?

• liquid, vapor, and ice

• solid, gas, and plasma

• hot, cold, and warm

• solid, liquid, and gas

What is evaporation?

• The process by which a solid turns into a gas

• The process by which a gas turns into a liquid

• The process by which a gas turns into a solid

• The process by which a liquid turns into a gas

What is condensation?

• The process by which liquid water is changed into water vapor in the air.

• The process by which snow is formed from water vapor in the air.

• The process by which water vapor in the air is changed into liquid water.

• The process by which water vapor in the air is changed into ice.

How does thermal energy transfer occur?

• Through conduction, convection, and radiation.

• Through photosynthesis, respiration, and transpiration.

• Through erosion, deposition, and weathering.

• Through precipitation, evaporation, and condensation.

What are the properties of matter?

• Length, width, and height

• Taste, texture, and sound

• Mass, volume, density, and ability to conduct heat and electricity

• Color, shape, and smell

Give an example of a physical change.

• Burning of wood

• Boiling of water

• Rusting of iron

• Melting of ice

Give an example of a chemical change.

• Burning of wood

• Mixing salt and water

• Boiling water

• Cutting a piece of paper

Explain the water cycle.

• The water cycle involves processes such as evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff.

• The water cycle involves processes such as boiling, freezing, and melting.

• The water cycle involves processes such as erosion, weathering, and sedimentation.

• The water cycle involves processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, and transpiration.

What are weather fronts?

• Boundaries between air masses with different characteristics

• The time of year when hurricanes are most likely to occur

• The direction in which the wind is blowing

• Lines drawn on a weather map to show temperature changes

Name three weather instruments and their uses.

• 2. Wind vane - measures cloud cover.

• 1. Rain gauge - measures humidity.

• 3. Hygrometer - measures wind speed.

• 1. Thermometer - measures temperature. 2. Barometer - measures air pressure. 3. Anemometer - measures wind speed and direction.
