Light
When light bounces off an object that is called...
Reflection
What is thermal energy?
heat
What happens during evaporation?
Water turns from liquid to gas
What is an epicenter?
the exact point in the crust where an earthquake starts
What is the name AND breed of the class snake?
Clyde the Ball Python!
What is the vocabulary word for when light goes through an object?
Transmit
When thermal energy hits a dark colored object, what does it do?
Absorb/heat up
What happens during condensation?
Water vapor molecules cool down, slow down, and become more dense
What are the three types of boundaries?
Convergent
Divergent
Transform
What are you not allowed to do if Mrs. Coghill leaves the classroom?
NO FIRES
Why can't you see anything in a very dark room?
There's no light to reflect off the objects
What happens to air when it cools down?
Molecules lose thermal energy
slow down
become denser
updrafts
What causes earthquakes to happen/Tectonic plates to move?
Convection currents in the mantle
How many people (as of today) have fallen in the hallway sinkhole?
16
Light must reflect off the object and into our eyes
Describe using the following terms, how water or air heats up
Thermal energy
molecules
Energy transfer
Collide
Thermal energy is transferred to molecules when they collide with each other.
Causes molecules to move faster
More energy = more thermal energy
Describe a convection current in the air using the following terms
Ground
molecules
less/more dense
rise/sink
Thermal energy from the ground is transferred to the air molecules.
Causes air to become less dense and rise
Air then cools down, condenses and sinks
Describe how a convection current in the mantle moves
heat from the core causes magma to warm, become less dense and rise
Magma cools, becomes more dense and sinks
Why should you always cover your toes when you sleep???
THE TOE TERROR
Using the following terms in your answer, explain why the student could not see the teacher but the teacher could see the student.
Reflect
Transmit
Light On
Light Off
The light was on in the students room and off in the teacher's room.
Light reflected off window mirror in student's room - see himself
Light transmitted through the window mirror to teacher's side - teacher sees through
Describe using the following terms, why the double wall cup works better than the single wall cup to keep a drink cold?
Thermal energy
Absorbed
Transmitted
Insulate/Insulator
Single wall cup - thermal energy is absorbed and transmitted into the cup directly to the water molecules
Double wall cup - thermal energy transfer is slowed because of the air insulating the second wall of the cup. This keeps water colder for longer
How do clouds form?
Water vapor condenses into water droplets and clings to CCNs.
Describe what what forms in the following scenarios:
When two pieces of continental crust collide
When continental crust and oceanic crust collides
2 continental - crust buckles forming mountains/earthquakes
1 continental, 1 oceanic - oceanic slides under continental. Forms mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes
