What types of heat transfer occurs between two substances that are in direct contact with each other?

What type of heat transfer is given off by flames of a fire?

The global ocean conveyor belt effects what around the globe?

What is the major driving force that causes both sea breezes and land breezes.

What is created when air moves from high to low pressure?

What do the Greenhouse gases do to heat in the atmosphere?

What drives deep ocean currents?

What drives ocean surface currents?

Air above the land warms up faster than air over the water, and the cooler air from the water blows toward land. What type of wind is this?

What part of the atmosphere helps to protect us from UV rays?

Which two factors make ocean water more dense?

As surface currents flow from the equator towards the poles what happens to them?

As surface currents flow towards the poles, they become more dense and become deep ocean currents. These deep ocean currents flow back towards the equator forming a loop called what?

What factor is being changed to cause El Nino and La Nina?

a wave made up of a combination of an electric field and a magnetic field

The trapping of heat near the Earth's surface by gases in the atmosphere

the total potential and kinetic energy of all the particles in an object

The transfer of thermal energy in a fluid (liquids or gasses)

The transfer of thermal energy from one particle to another by direct contact

The transfer of thermal energy by electromagnetic waves (light)

How does most of the earth energy from the sun travel through space to get to the earth

How much of the sun's energy is absorbed by land and water and changed to heat

what percent of the sun's energy is reflected by clouds and particles in the atmosphere

What percent of the sun's energy is absorbed by gas and particles

What percent of the sun's energy is reflected by Earth's surface

a pot sitting on the stove, touching a hot metal spoon, direct contact

boiling water, steam, gases, liquids

heat from a fire, the sun's heat transferred to Earth

the horizontal movement of air from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure

the flow of cooler air from over an ocean or lake toward land

the flow of air from land to a body of water

band of high speed winds about 10 km above Earth's surface

what is an anemometer used for

what are the pattern of winds moving around the globe called

winds that blow over short distances and affect local weather called

a large stream of water that flows through oceans

an abnormal climate event that occurs every 2-7 years in the Pacific Ocean (causes changes in wind, currents, and weather)

a climate even in the Pacific Ocean in which surface waters are colder than normal

These are large streams of moving waters that flow through an ocean, and can affect ocean ecosystems

this is a climate event that occurs every 2-7 years in the Pacific Ocean the winds along the equator weaken an d reverse directions. There is also an increase in rain and flooding during this

This is the opposite of the event that occurs every 2-7 years and causes colder than normal winters
