Energy
What is energy?
Energy is the ability to cause change
What is the atmosphere?
The atmosphere is a mixture of gases that surround the Earth.
What is radiation?
Radiation is the transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves.
What is wind?
Wind is the movement off air caused by differences in air pressure.
What is kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy of an object due to motion
What is air pressure?
Air pressure is the measure of force at which air molecules push to the surface.
What is convection?
Convection is the transfer of energy due to the movement of matter.
What is the Corilious Effect?
The Corilious Effect is the apparent curving of a path of a moving object due to Earth's rotation.
What is potential energy?
Potential energy is the energy due to position, condition, or chemical composition
What is temperature?
Temperature is the measure of average kinetic energy in particles.
What is conduction?
Conduction is the transfer of energy through direct contact.
What are global winds?
Global winds are wind systems that occur near Earth's surface.
Can an object have both kinetic and potential energy at the same time?
Yes it can
What is thermal expansion?
Thermal expansion is the increase in volume that results in temperature.
What are jet streams?
Jet streams are narrow belts of high speed winds that occur near Earth's surface.
What is heat?
Heat is the energy transferred between objects of different temperatures.
What are local winds?
Local winds are the movements of air over short distances. They blow from any direction.
