100
This is the general term for energy stored in an object due to its position or state.
What is potential enery?
100
This energy transformation occurs when you turn on a battery operated flashlight.
What is chemical to electrical to thermal, light, and heat.
100
This occurs when liquid water turns into its gas form - water vapor.
What is evaporation?
200
This energy type is stored when an object is stretched or compressed.
What is elastic potential energy?
200
This type of heat transfer is seen when roasting a marshmallow next to a campfire.
What is radiation?
200
The ability to do work is also known as this.
What is energy?
200
This energy transformation occurs in a remote-controlled car.
What is chemical to electrical to kinetic and sound
200
This occurs when water freezes within the clouds and forms small to large spheres of ice. Watch out - this precipitation can cause lots of damage!
What is hail?
300
This is the term for when hot fluid becomes less dense and rises and cold fluid becomes more dense and sinks, filling the space left behind.
What is convection?
300
The molecules in this image can be described as this.
What is cold?
300
This is the general term for energy found in moving objects.
What is kinetic energy?
300
This type of energy occurs in a pendulum.
What is gravitational potential to kinetic to gravitational potential...
300
The average temperature is warmest along this line on the Earth. Some could call it her belt.
What is the equator?
400
This is the term used to describe the weather event when water in any form falls from clouds.
What is precipitation?
400
Heat always transfers in this direction.
What is hot to cold?
400
This type of energy is found in a pendulum at its highest point.
What is gravitational potential energy?
400
This energy transformation occurs as a roller coaster begins moving down the hill.
What is gravitational potential to kinetic and sound and thermal.
400
This term is used to describe a stream-like movement of water in the ocean.
What is an ocean current?
500
How close together or far apart molecules are within an object is referred to as this.
What is density?
500
This type of heat transfer can be seen when an egg is cracked into a hot pan.
What is conduction?
500
This type of energy is found within a battery.
What is chemical potential energy?
500
This energy transformation occurs when your cell phone rings.
What is chemical to electrical to sound, light, and kinetic/mechanical?
500
This phenomenon causes temperature differences which lead to convection cells in the air and our oceans.
What is the uneven heating of the Earth?
600
Energy is transferred from the sun to Earth's surface using this form of heat transfer.
What is radiation?
600
This color absorbs the most light, and would be a bad idea when deciding what color to make a cup.
What is black?
600
This form of energy comes from the movement of electrons within a system.
What is electrical kinetic energy?
600
This is true about the total energy of a system according to Isaac Newton.
What is it remains constant because energy is never created or destroyed?
600
Convection in our oceans and atmosphere work together to create different climates across the Earth. This is the path most oceanic convection currents follow.
What is warm water moves from the equator to the poles?
