Heat Transfer
Heat always flows from ________ to _________ temperature.
high to low
Water falling from the sky.
What is precipitation?
The solid center of the Earth.
Made from cooling lava or magma.
What is an igneous rock?
What are plates?
Heat transfer by touching.
What is conduction.
When gas turns into liquid.
What is condensation?
The name of the very very thick liquid layer between the crust and core.
What is the mantle?
Made from another rock that undergoes extreme heat and pressure.
What is a metamorphic rock?
What is a convergent boundary?
Heat transfer through waves.
What is radiation?
Brings sunny dry weather.
What is a high pressure system?
The more dense part of Earth's crust.
What is the oceanic crust?
Made from sediments that are compacted and cemented together.
What is a sedimentary rock?
Plates moving away from each other.
What is a divergent boundary?
Heat transfer in a fluid caused by the rising of warmer substances and falling of cooler substances.
What is convection?
Brings lousy, rainy weather.
What is a low pressure system?
Made mainly of iron.
What is the inner and outer core?
Maps out all of the different ways one type of rock can be turned into another type of rock.
What is the rock cycle?
Plates moving past each other.
What is a transform boundary?
Heat transfer stops when the whole system is the same temperature. (Looking for a vocabulary word that means "same" in science.)
What is equilibrium?
Represented on a weather map by a red line with red triangles on it.
What is a cold front?
The place where convection that moves Earth's plates takes place.
What is the mantle?
This black igneous rock is formed when lave cools so quickly that no gas bubbles or crystals have time to form.
When one more dense plate slides under a less dense plate.
What is subduction?
