This imaginary line divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern hemispheres.
What is the equator?
This is the movement of liquid through a passageway or through another liquid.
What is current?
This describes the transfer of heat energy within an object, or between to objects touching each other.
What is conduction?
This measure of how many particles are packed together into a certain amount of space is found by dividing the mass of an object by its volume.
What is density?
This describes the average weather conditions in an area.
What is climate?
This apparent effect of the Earth's rotation influences the movement of any objects or fluids moving over the Earth's surface.
What is the Coriolis effect?
This movement of hot air above cooler air produces air currents.
What is convection?
This atmospheric circulation around the Earth occurs in predictable patterns and controls much of the planet's climate.
What is global wind?
This describes the passage of energy from one object to another.
What is energy transfer?
This describes the transfer of thermal energy, such as adding thermal energy to soup using the microwave or stove.
What is heat?
This is the energy that an object has due to its motion.
What is kinetic energy?
This is the angular distance on the globe north and south of the equator.
What is latitude?
This visible electromagnetic radiation is a form of energy that animals can see directly.
What is light energy?
This energy comes from the sun.
What is solar energy?
This term describes a climate that is hot and humid. This climate region is found close to the equator.
What is tropical?
