What is differential heating?
What does differential heating help cause?
Movement of air and formation of weather patterns (wind)
What is the difference between conduction, convection, and radiation?
What is heat actually? (in terms of energy)
A type of kinetic sound
A measure of kinetic energy
How does heat "flow"?
Heat flows from high pressure to low pressure.
How does the atmosphere heat up?
Where would you find high pressure in a convection cell?
Where the air comes down
where the air goes up
in the middle
no special place
Where would you find low pressure in a convection cell?
Where the air comes down
where the air goes up
in the middle
no special place
Why does air move from high to low pressure areas?
How do land breezes work?
How do sea breezes work?
What is the Coriolis effect?
The apparent curve of moving objects due to the rotation of the Earth.
How does the Coriolis effect affect wind?
The Coriolis effect causes the wind to be deflected/curved
What three things can contribute to wind?
What is the role of convection in the atmosphere?
Convection is responsible for the movement of clouds and the formation of weather patterns.
Convection is responsible for the rotation of the Earth.
Convection is responsible for the gravitational pull of the moon.
Convection is responsible for the reflection of light off of water molecules.
What is the primary cause of wind?
Wind is primarily caused by the rotation of the Earth.
Wind is primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon.
Wind is primarily caused by the movement of ocean currents.
Wind is primarily caused by differences in atmospheric pressure.
How does radiation transfer heat?
Radiation transfers heat through the movement of fluids.
Radiation transfers heat through direct contact.
Radiation transfers heat through electromagnetic waves.
Radiation transfers heat through the rotation of the Earth.
