Light & Matter
Light bouncing off something.
Reflection
Particles arranged tightly and still moving, but not changing shape or volume.
solid
When water is heated and moves into the atmosphere as gas
evaporation
Daily atmospheric conditions are . . .
Average temperature and humidity is . . .
climate
Light stopping and going into something
absorption
Particles arranged in a way that they can change shape, but not volume
liquid
When water joins other droplets and forms a cloud
condensation
Hot water is _____ dense than cold water
less
This climate zone has mild temperatures year round and only varies a little bit season by season.
temperate marine
Light going through something
transmission
Particles arranged with no specific volume or shape
gas
When water falls back to the earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail
precipitation
If a cold front and low pressure is moving in, what kind of weather can be expected?
cold, rainy, possibly snow, etc.
You will need a good hood in this climate zone. It's always VERY humid and rainy. It creates beautiful forests
tropical
This is what happens to red, yellow, and blue, when you see a green leaf
absorption
Heat always moves from . . .
hot to cold
The source or energy that allows water molecules to heat up
the sun
If high temperatures and sunny clear skies are expected, what kind of front is moving in?
BONUS: What kinds of pressure is probably coming in?
warm front
high pressure
It is so cold in this climate zone that the ground will freeze solid
polar
This is what happens to green when you see a green leaf
reflection
Something I can put around my drink to keep the hot in or out. Something the prevents heat transfer.
insulator
The force that pulls water back toward the Earth
gravity
This is what causes the Earth's wind to curve.
coriolis effect
This climate zone has a lot of temperature variation. There are clearly 4 seasons as the temperature and weather change often
temperate continental
