The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves

Transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles of matter

Why are polar regions cooler than tropical regions?

The Sun is at a lower angle at the poles

The poles tend to have more cloud cover

The poles are farther from the Sun

The poles are surrounded by oceans

Which is true of this picture?

humid air is heavier than dry air

cold air is lighter than warm air

Which statement correctly defines wind?

Wind is the movement of air from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.

Wind is the movement of air from areas of low pressure to areas of high pressure

Wind is the movement of air to a colder area in the atmosphere.

Wind is the movement of air pushed around and bouncing off Earth's surface.

Land and water absorb and release the sun’s heat in different ways. One result of this is a sea breeze. Which statement is true of sea breezes?

They originate in the day and blow toward the land.

They originate in the day and blow toward the water.

They originate in the evening and blow toward the land.

They originate in the evening and blow toward the water.

What is the initial source for global winds and convection in the atmosphere?

unequal heating of the Earth by the sun

Which statement correctly describes the properties of cold air?

more dense and more pressure than warm air

less dense and less pressure than warm air

more dense and less pressure than warm air

less dense and more pressure than warm air

Why does warm air rise?

Warm air is less dense than cooler air.

Warm air is more dense than cooler air.

Warm air has more pressure than cooler air.

Warm air has a higher dew point than cooler air.

What is the definition of CONDUCTION?

When heat transfers from objects that are touching.

When heat is transferred from objects like rays of light or electromagnetically.

a hot liquid or air that expands, becomes less dense, and rises or becomes more dense, and sinks.

When heat transfers through the heater or AC in your house.

Which of the following is an example of convection?

When you are making soup and the water is rising and lowering.

A hair dryer is drying up your hair.

When the AC or heater changes the temperature.

When a car engine turns hot after being turned on.

14. Explain the difference between conduction and convection.

Heat rises for convection and travels thru liquids and gases. Conduction travels thru solids and liquids but must be touching.

Conduction involves heat going in all directions while heat rises with convection.

Heat moves in all directions for convection, but it rises for conduction.

Thermal energy travels thru solids for both conduction and convection; however, conduction involves direct contact.

Which describes what can happen as a result of radiation?

A car’s inside temperature rises to over 100 degrees on a sunny day.

A piece of wood burns in a fire.

A shirt is hot after having been ironed.

A can of soup is heated in a pot on a stove.
