True or False: Our weather cycle is cause by CONVECTION.
True
Define Temperature
It is the measurement of the AVERAGE kinetic energy of an object's particles.
Define Convection
Movement of heat through currents
Give an example of conduction
ice cream melting, stove to bottom of pan,
What type of energy is "The Kinetic energy of an object's atom"?
Thermal Energy
True or False: Power plants mostly use solar energy to heat water.
false, they use geothermal energy.
