E.S. consists of seven types of these
waves
Sound and light travels as these
waves
Identify this plate boundary
Transform
What direction does energy flow when ice is put into a glass of soda?
from soda to ice
The energy transformation occuring when you strike a match
chemical to heat and light
As wavelength increases, frequency does this
decreases
The reason you see the color red is because the red light waves are doing this
being reflected
The tectonic plates move because of this happening in the mantle
convection currents
Heat transfered by direct contact
conduction
The energy transformation occuring when a stove is turned on
electrical to heat (light, sound)
The only part of the E.S. that we can see
visible light
Sounds travels fastest through this media
solids
Mountain building occurs at this type of boundary
convergent
heat transfer by electromagnetic waves
radiation
The energy transformation occuring when an apple falls from a tree
gravitational to kinetic
The lowest energy waves
Radio
How does an increase in temperature affect the speed of sound?
increases
Earthquakes are most likely to happen at this boundary
transform
warm fluids rise and cooler fluids sink, creating a circular flow
convection
The energy transformation occuring when you shoot a rubber band
elastic to kinetic
These waves enable you to communicate with your cell phone
microwaves
Light can travel through this, but sound can't
vacuum
Ocean trenches form at these boundaries
divergent
When the temperature of two objects in contact balance out, heat stops flowing and the system is said to be in this
thermal equalibrium
The energy transformation occuring when you shoot a basketball
chemical to kinetic
