types of energy
energy of motion
what is kinetic energy?
cool air over the sea fills in warm air over the land
what is a sea breeze?
when energy changes from one form to another form
what is an energy transformation?
the energy that is transferred between objects at different temperatures.
What is heat?
the pressure of which air molecules push on the area of a surface
what is air pressure?
the energy of position, condition, or chemical composition
what is potential energy?
cool air over land rushes in to fill in the warm air over the sea
what is a land breeze?
a group of objects that transfers energy only to one another.
What is a closed system?
the different rates at which objects become colder or warmer.
What is specific heat?
a mixture of gases that surround Earth.
what is an atmosphere?
the ability to cause change.
what is energy?
a movement of air due to differences in air pressure.
what is wind?
The law that states that energy can not be created or destroyed.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
the transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves.
What is radiation?
the increase in volume that results from an increase in temperature.
what is thermal expansion?
the sum of an object's potential kinetic energy
what is mechanical energy?
pressure differences in the atmosphere
what are convection cells?
what is temperature?
the transfer of energy from one object to another through direct contact.
what is conduction?
winds produced by pressure belts at every 30 degrees latitude and the Coriolis effect.
What are global winds?
the energy that results from the position or motion of charged particles.
what is electrical energy?
narrow belts of high-speed winds that blow east to west between 7 and 16 KM above Earth's surface.
What are jet streams?
the measure of the total kinetic energy of particles
what is thermal energy?
the transfer of energy due to the movement of matter, specifically liquid or gases
what is convection?
The major global winds
What are the Trade Winds, the Westerlies, and the Polar Easterlies
