what is energy
the ability to cause change
temperature
the measure of average Kinetic energy of particles
the energy that is transferred between objects that have different temperatures
heat
what is wind caused by
differences in air pressure
2 breezes
Land and Sea
2 types of energy
Kinetic and Potential energy
atmosphere
mixture of gases that surrounds Earth. 78% Nytrogyn, 21% Oxygen, and 1% other(dust, ash, etc.)
rays from the sun
electromagnetic waves
the curving of a path of objects due to earth's rotation
coriolis effect
convection cells
air that moves in smaller circular patterns
stored energy
energy due to the motion of an object
Potential energy
Kinetic energy
what is the law of conservation energy
its a law that states energy cannot be created or destroyed
visible light
a form of electromagnetic waves
convection currents
cycling of matter
trade winds of both hemispheres met in a calm area of the equator
what are doldrums
can objects have both Kinetic and Potential energy at the same time
yes
the measure of force with which air molecules push on an area
air pressure
what are 3 types of heat transfer
convection, conduction, and radiation
Global winds:
Local winds:
2 types of winds
G: wind systems that only occur on Earth's surface
L: movement of air over short distances
a calm area made by 30-degree air that makes air stop and sink
horse latitude
what are some types of energy? Name 7
>Mechanical >Sound >Electromagnetic >Electrical >Chemical >Thermal >Nucleur
different rates which materials become cooler or warmer
specific heat
what are convection, conduction, and radiation
Radiation: transfer of energy as electromagnetic waves
Conduction: transfer of energy from abjects to another
Convection: transfer of energy due to the motion of matter. Happens in liquid and gas form
what are 3 types of global winds
Polar-Easterlies, Westerlies, trade winds
jet streams
a narrow belt of high-speed winds that blow west to east, 7 to 17 kilometers
