Matter
This type of matter does not have a definite volume and is a fluid.
What is gas?
The process by which a liquid changes into a gas.
Bonus: What is the temperature at which this happens called?
What is evaporation?
Bonus: Boiling point
This form of energy is related to motion.
Bonus: What is another form of energy that is a subcategory of this?
What is kinetic energy?
Bonus: acoustic energy
The source of energy uses gravitational potential energy stored in water to create kinetic energy in turbines, which generates electric energy.
What is hydroelectric energy?
This is energy is transit.
What is heat?
What is matter?
Matter is anything that takes up space (volume) and has mass. It is made of atoms or parts of atoms.
The process by which a solid changes into liquid.
Bonus: What is the temperature at which this occurs called?
What is melting?
Bonus: melting point
This form of energy has to do with waves of light.
Electromagnetic radiation
This source of energy is generated through fission of a radioactive material.
What is nuclear energy?
This is the mechanical process by which energy is converted.
What is work?
This type of matter has tightly packed vibrating particles as well as a definite shape and volume.
What is a solid?
Bonus: The temperature at which this happens is called?
Bonus: freezing poing
This form of energy is a result of the splitting or fusing of an atom.
What is nuclear energy?
Formed over a long period of time, this source of energy takes chemical potential energy in natural materials to generate electricity. Two downsides are limited resources and high pollution.
Bonus: What are the three common types of this?
What are fossil fuels?
Bonus: petroleum, coal, natural gas
This type of heat transfer occurs in fluids when hot, fast atoms collide.
Bonus: Give an example.
What is convection?
This fluid has a definite volume and a high internal energy.
What is liquid?
The process by which a gas changes into a liquid.
Bonus: The temperature at which this occurs is called?
What is condensation?
Bonus: condensation point
This form of energy often travels through wires and is related to electron flow.
Bonus: This form of energy is related to heat.
What is electrical energy?
Bonus: thermal energy
This source of energy uses thermal energy in the earth to heat water, generating steam to run turbines which produce electricity. The danger of a volcanic eruption is connected with this source.
What is geothermal?
This kind of heat transfer occurs in solids. When particles come in contact with something hot, the particles vibrate.
Bonus: Give an example.
What is conduction?
The sum of the kinetic energies of particles in a substance.
What is internal energy?
These processes are the names when a gas changes directly into a solid and when a solid changes directly into a gas.
What are deposition and sublimation?
What are the three types of potential energy we discussed?
Bonus: describe each
Elastic PE, Gravitational PE, Chemical PE
This source of energy gathers energy from electromagnetic waves and converts it into electricity. It is dependent on the weather.
What is solar energy?
This type of heat transfer occurs when energy is transferred through electromagnetic waves.
Bonus: Give an example of this.
What is radiation?
