Intro to energy
energy of motion
what is kenitic energy
the total kinetic energy of all particles in a substance
what is thermal energy
the gas which fills up 78% of the atmosphere
what is nitrogen
the movement of air caused by differences by air pressure
what is wind
energy of position and chemical energy
what is potential energy
it is average kinetic energy of particles
what is temprature
the gas which takes up 21% of our atmosphere
what is oxegen
the curving of the path of a moving object from a otherwise straight path
what is the Coriolis effect
sum of kinetic and potential energy
what is mechanical energy
it moves from hot to cold
what is heat
force which with air molecules push on a surface
what is air pressure
wind systems produced by the Coriolis effect and pressure belts at 30°degrees latitude
what is a global wind
energy that results from position or motion of charged particles
what is electrical energy
a poor conductor of heat
what is a insulator
increase of volume leading to increase in temperature
what is thermal expansion
air pushing towards 1 direction
what is a jet stream
this law states energy can't be created or destroyed
what is the law of conservation energy
transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves
what is radiation
different rates at which materials cool
what is specific heat
movement of air over a short distance
what is a local wind
