Heat Transfer
Name the three ways heat is transferred.
This heat transfer occurs when a heat lamp is placed above a reptile cage.
What is radiant energy?
What is visible light?
Where most energy sources on Earth originate.
What is the sun?
This devices uses energy from the wind to generate electricity.
What is wind turbine?
When warm air rises because it is less dense and cool air sinks because it is more dense.
What is convection heat transfer?
Plants use the Sun to create food through photosynthesis.
What is radiant to chemical?
The type of heat transfer that occurs when the sun heats your body.
What is radiation?
This energy is stored in a battery.
What is chemical energy?
The device used to capture energy from the sun.
What are solar panels?
Heat transfer that dictates heating vents be placed on the floor of a home.
What is convection?
Energy transformation that occurs when using a toaster.
What is electrical to thermal to mechanical?
This absorbs most ultraviolet rays emitted by the sun before they hit Earth's surface.
What is the ozone layer?
What is light energy?
What is hydropower?
Heat transfer that causes you to use a potholder to get cookies out of the oven.
What is conduction?
These energy transfers occurs when sunlight is collected by solar panels, stored in batteries, then used to power appliances.
What is radiant to chemical to electrical?
Type of radiation that causes sunburn, skin cancer, and eye damage
What is ultraviolet radiation?
The gradual temperature increase of the atmosphere due to trapped heat.
What is the Greenhouse Effect?
What is chemical energy?
This type of energy transfer occurs when you eat dinner then go outside and play.
What is chemical to mechanical?
The path that energy travels when using a pencil sharpener plugged into a wall outlet.
What is electrical to mechanical?
This solar radiation cannot be seen but can be felt by the skin.
What is infrared radiation?
This system tracks the amount of solar energy flowing in and out of the Earth's atmosphere.
What is Earth's Energy Budget?
Humans produce excess greenhouse gases or the temperature of Earth is increasing.
What is Global Warming
