Energy
What is the difference between renewable and nonrenewable energy?
Renewable energy is easily replaced. Nonrenewable energy is not easily replaced.
What worsens climate change?
Release of fossil fuels which make greenhouse gases increase
Which type of electromagnetic energy is the shortest?
Gamma Rays
How does Carbon Dioxide move to other parts of Earth?
Wind
What is the density formula?
D=m/v
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only change form
Which direction does wind move in each hemisphere?
N: Clockwise
S: Counterclockwise
Which type of electromagnetic energy is the shortest for colors?
Purple/violet
How does heat transfer?
From high to low temperature
What are doldrums?
Calm area around the equator
What is convection?
When energy transfers in a liquid or a gas
What do prevailing winds depend on?
Combination of high/low pressure and the Coriolis Effect
Which type of electromagnetic energy is the longest?
Radio waves
How does a thermos work?
It has two layers with a vacuum in the middle
What is the difference between criteria and constraints?
Criteria is the information necessary to solve a problem. Constraints are things that limit a solution
What is the difference between conduction and radiation?
Conduction requires contact and radiation goes through space
What are Jet Streams?
Streams of narrow bands of high altitude wind that occurs in predictable patterns but vary over time
Which type of electromagnetic energy is the longest for colors?
Red
How does a winter coat work?
It traps body heat by insulating the person
What borders make up the borders of the Tropics?
Tropic of Cancer (N) and Tropic of Capricorn (S)
What is the R-value with home insulation?
This is the power of the insulation to resist heat transfer
What is the Coriolis Effect?
As air in the atmosphere moves, Earth is rotating, dragging the air with it and changing its direction
What type of electromagnetic energy can we see?
How does a Hadley Cell work? Draw the picture and label it.
