The sum of potential and kinetic energy
what is mechanical engergy
Energy transfer through electromagnetic waves
what is radiation?
The movement of air from differences in air pressure

What is Coriolis Effect?
states that energy can't be created or destroyed
what is law of conservation of engery
Energy transferred between objects at unequal temperatures
What is heat?
Less dense air rises and dense air sinks taking the place of the less dense air.
What is convention current?
