Unequal heating of the earth's surface is the main source of
Wind
Sunlight is a common form of
a) Conduction
b) Convection
c) Radiation
c) Radiation

A lot of choices
Radiation is when heat is transferred
a) with direct contact
b) through a liquid or gas
c) without direct contact
c) without direct contact
The breeze that occurs at night with wind flow going from land to the ocean is called?
a) land
b) sea
a) land breeze
Easterlies, Westerlies and Trade winds are all examples of what type of wind
Global winds
Barefeet touching sand on a hot day at the beach is an example of
a) Conduction
b) Convection
c) Radiation
a) conduction
What sport is featured on Thanksgiving that features the Dallas Cowboys and the Detroit Lions
Football

a) with direct contact
b) through a liquid or gas
c) without direct contact
a) with direct contact

a) land
b) sea
b) sea

Rotation

a) Conduction
b) Convection
c) Radiation
b) Convection

Thursday
How is something like a hot bowl of soup or roasting marshmallows show all three types of energy transfer
1. stovetop/fireplace radiates heat
2. Boiling water/smoke is released
3. spoon touches hot liquid/marshmellow makes contact with fire
Explain how differences in air temperature cause wind flow (Think about the food coloring experiment)
Warmer temperatures are lower in density as it causes warm air to rise. Cooler temperatures are higher in density as it causes cooler temperatures to sink
Does warmer temperatures occur closer or farther away from the equator
Farther away
Which material is more likely to conduct heat...metal or plastic?
metal
