Conduction

Answer

Convection

Answer

Radiation

Answer

Insulation

Accepted Answer

Water heats and cools more slowly than land, moderating the temperature

Answer

The ocean blocks sunlight from reaching the city

Answer

The city near the ocean is closer to the Sun

Answer

Land heats and cools more slowly than water

Question 16

Accepted Answer

Heating the bottom of the beaker and adding food coloring to observe the movement

Answer

Placing the beaker in the refrigerator

Answer

Placing the beaker in direct sunlight without heating

Answer

Stirring the water with a spoon

Question 17

A weather map shows a large area of high pressure over land and a low-pressure area over the ocean. Predict what will happen to the air movement between these two areas.

Accepted Answer

Air will move from the land to the ocean

Answer

Air will move from the ocean to the land

Answer

Air will not move at all

Answer

Air will move in a circle above the land

Question 18

Why does a metal bench feel colder than a wooden bench on a cold day, even if they are at the same temperature?

Accepted Answer

Metal conducts heat away from your body faster than wood

Answer

Wood absorbs more sunlight than metal

Answer

Wood is naturally warmer than metal

Answer

Metal is always colder than wood

Question 19

What causes the wind to change direction at night along the coast?

Accepted Answer

The land cools down faster than the water, causing air to move from land to sea

Answer

The Moon's gravity pulls the air towards the sea

Answer

The Sun heats the water more than the land at night

Answer

The water heats up faster than the land, causing air to move from sea to land

Question 20
