Which of the following is NOT an example of radiation?
An alligator warming up by laying in the sun
Sun's rays heating up sand at the beach
Burning your feet on the hot sand at the beach
Microwave heating food
Which of the following IS an example of convection?
Warm air rising and replacing cold air resulting in a storm
Popcorn in a microwave
Pancake on a skillet
A container of tea being made by being placed in a sunny spot
Sarah is investigating the transfer of energy in the form of heat. One process that transfers energy between two objects is conduction. Which statement is NOT true about conduction?
It results in a change of temperature in both objects
It requires direct contact between the objects
It can transfer energy through empty space
It involves a transfer of energy in the form of heat
When warm air rises and replaces cold air due to convection in the atmosphere what can happen?
There will be less humidity in the atmosphere
The sun's rays will be amplified
A light sea breeze and calm seas
A thunder and lightning storm
What type of heat transfer takes place when you touch a warm mug of hot chocolate?
Radiation
Convection
Conduction
None of the above
What kind of heat transfer takes place when the sidewalk gets too hot to walk on and it is a sunny day?
Radiation
Evaporation
Convection
Conduction
How does the heating of liquids and gasses cause convection currents?
Constant temperatures cause convection currents
Conduction transfers the molecules through a current
The density (spacing of the molecules) of the liquid and gas exchange.
The weights of the liquid and gasses exchange
On the coast breezes form during the day due to the Sun heating the air, water, and land. Which statement explain how sea breezes form?
The Sun transfers heat to the land by conduction, the air directly over the land heats up by radiation and then the warm air rises into the atmosphere and moves out over the water where it cools and sinks.
The sun transfers heat to the land by radiation, the air directly over the land heats up by conduction and then the warm air rises into the atmosphere and moves out over the water where it cools and sinks.
Cool air over the water rises into the atmosphere warms and then sinks into the land due to convection
Warm air over the land moves towards the water due to convection which then transfers heat to the water by conduction.

Warm air ...
falls downward
creates wind currents
rises upward
causes global warming
Which statement below explains how energy from the Sun causes the movement of air on Earth?
The sun heats the air particles which then collide with each other and forms wind.
The sun heats the earth unevenly creating warm and cool masses. The warm air rises and cooler air moves in to replace it which forms wind.
The sun heats the Earth unevenly creating warm and cool air masses. The cooler air rises and warm air moves in to replace it which forms wind
The sun heats the earth’s atmosphere which creates warm air and as the earth rotates the air moves to different locations on earth
Cool air
rises
moves east
moves west
falls
Conduction requires
Electricity
the electromagnetic spectrum and particles
air or water flow
direct contact
Daytona Beach is along the east coast and Orlando is in the middle of the state. In the summer, Orlando experiences higher temperatures during the day than Daytona Beach.
The land heats much faster than the ocean. When the land heats up the air above it heats up as well.
The land and ocean heat at the same rate but the moisture in the atmosphere causes warmer temperatures in Daytona Beach at night.
The land and ocean heat at the same rate but the moisture in the atmosphere causes cooler temperatures in Orlando at night.
The ocean heats much faster than the land. When the ocean heats up, the air above it heats up as well.
Heat travels from
heat sink to heat source
heat source to heat sink
Heat source to thermal conductor
Heat sink to thermal insulator
If a substance is a good conductor it will
Take a longer time to get hot
Get hot very fast
Also be a good insulator
Be useful for trains
If a substance is a good insulator it will...
get hot very fast
cause weather patterns to shift
Be useful in insulin production
Take a long time to get hot
An example of a conductor is
wood
metal
cork
plastic
An example of a good insulator is
gold
glass
oil
wood
Heat transfer always moves ...
cold to hot
east to west
hot to cold
north to south
What type of energy MOST affects the weather?
Conduction
Convection
Radiation
King Triton
When air heats up, molecules spread out, causing warm air to rise and cold air to sink. This creates:
A conduction current
A convection current
Radiation
Even heating of the air

Snakes love to lay outside during the day. How is heat transferred to the snake?
Heat from the Sun is transferred to the snake through radiation.
Heat from the geosphere is transferred to the snake through radiation.
The atmosphere transfers heat to the snake through convection.
The hydrosphere transfers heat to the snake through insulation.
The image shows how a sea breeze is created.
Which of the following statements best explains the weather you experience when sitting on the land
during the day?
The sea breeze brings cool dry air from the ocean to the land.
The sea breeze brings warm dry air from the ocean to the land.
The sea breeze brings cool moist air from the ocean to the land.
The sea breeze brings warm moist air from the ocean to the land .
A LAND breeze happens at night. If you were sitting on the beach what would you feel?
A warm breeze. Warm air moving to the land from the ocean.
A cool breeze. Cool air moving to the land from the ocean.
A LAND breeze happens at night. What would you feel if you were sitting on a boat in the ocean?
A cool breeze. Cool air coming from the land.
A warm breeze. Warm air coming from the land.
Heat energy is transferred throughout our planet in which 2 ways? That means there are 2 answers. Click 2 boxes.
Convection currents in the ocean bring warm water from the equator to the poles.
Radiation from the sun is responsible for warming the planets hydrosphere, atmosphere and geosphere.
Convection currents in the atmosphere transport warm air through the troposphere.
The spheres touch each other and the planet is warmed through conduction.
