Earth Materials and Systems.

Front

What is the relationship between the number of chapters and the total number of pages in a book as shown in a scatter plot?

Back

The scatter plot illustrates a trend that can be used to predict the total number of pages based on the number of chapters.

Front

What is the term for the direct transfer of heat through gases?

Back

Radiation.

Front

What does the Greenhouse Effect diagram illustrate?

Back

It illustrates how greenhouse gases trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to an increase in temperature.

Front

What are greenhouse gases?

Back

Gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect and climate change, such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide.

Front

Which gas is most abundant in the Earth's atmosphere?

Back

Nitrogen.

Front

How does radiation differ from conduction and convection in heat transfer?

Back

Radiation transfers heat through electromagnetic waves, while conduction transfers heat through direct contact and convection transfers heat through fluid movement.

Front

What role do greenhouse gases play in climate change?

Back

They trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming and climate change.

Front

What is the significance of the trend line in a scatter plot?

Back

The trend line helps to identify the general direction of the data points and can be used for predictions.

Front

Name three common greenhouse gases.

Back

Carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O).

Front

What is the primary source of carbon dioxide emissions?

Back

Burning fossil fuels for energy and transportation.
