Heat
Transfers heat energy through gases and liquids.
Convection
A push or pull on an object
Force
the distance above sea level.
Altitude
Instrument that measures wind speed.
anemometer
Is made up of voluntary muscles, usually attached to the skeleton.
Skeletal muscle
Transfers heat energy in solids.
Conduction
Is the distance traveled per unit of time.
Speed
ecosystem filled with trees and underbrush.
forest
Instrument for measuring atmospheric pressure.
barometer
Is composed of involuntary muscles found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and blood vessels.
Smooth muscle
Is a method of heat transfer that does not require particles to carry the heat energy.
Radiation
A property of matter by which it remains at rest or in motion in the same straight line unless acted upon by some external force.
Inertia
having to do with a habitat or ecosystem of a lake, river, or spring.
freshwater
Device that measures humidity.
hygrometer
Is also an involuntary muscle, found only in the heart.
Cardiac muscle
Period of prolonged abnormally high surface temperatures relative to those normally expected
Heat wave
In physics, quantitative measure of inertia, a fundamental property of all matter.
Mass
ecosystem with large, flat areas of grasses.
grassland
Instrument that measures the amount of rain.
rain gauge
Muscles that are not under your conscious control
involuntary muscles
Creating a barrier between the hot and the cold object that reduces heat transfer by either reflecting thermal radiation or decreasing thermal conduction and convection from one object to the other.
Insulation
In physics, change with time of the position or orientation of a body.
Motion
having to do with the ocean.
marine
Radio detection and ranging device that emits radio waves and receives them after they bounce on the nearest surface; this creates an image of storms and other nearby objects.
radar
Are long, thin cells that can do something that other cells cannot do—they are able to get shorter.
Muscle fibers
