Total questions: 15
Worksheet time: 15mins
What does the text list and describe?
ways hot air is transferred into and through Earth's atmosphere
ways heat is transferred into and through Earth's atmosphere
ways radiation is transferred into and through Earth's atmosphere
ways visible light is transferred into and through Earth's atmosphere
What is the main idea of this text?
The source of heat for Earth is the sun, and some of the sun's energy is used to make heat energy
White light is when the eye views all the different light frequencies at the same time.
The transfer of heat energy from one substance to another or within a substance is called conduction.
Heat energy is transferred into and through Earth's atmosphere by radiation, conduction, and convection.
What is the process by which heat transfers from one particle of matter to another when the particles collide?
conduction
convection
expansion
radiation
Heat is transferred from warmer areas to cooler areas.
True
False

Convection is the transfer of heat by the movement of currents within a fluid.
True
False
Conduction is not the transfer of heat directly from one particle of matter to another without the movement of the matter.
True
False
Which method of heat transfer involves the movement of fluid due to differences in temperature and density?
Conduction
Convection
Radiation
Insulation
In an experiment, a metal rod is heated at one end. Which method of heat transfer is primarily responsible for the heat traveling to the other end of the rod?
Conduction
Convection
Radiation
Evaporation
Which of the following is an example of heat transfer by radiation?
A pot of water boiling on a stove
The sun warming your face
A metal spoon getting hot in a cup of hot tea
Warm air rising to the ceiling
