Water Cycle
_________________ is when water changes from a liquid to a gas.
evaporation
What is it called when matter changes its property (five senses)?
Physical Change
How does heat energy move?
from HOT to COLD
Weather is day to day, climate is over a long period of time.
What breeze has high pressure over the water and low pressure over the land?
Sea Breeze
What is the driving force of the water cycle?
SUN
What is an example of physical change?
cutting bread or baking a cake
cutting bread
What transfers heat through heat waves or the sun's rays?
Radiation
What does the uneven heating of the earth cause?
What breeze flows from land to sea at night and low pressure is over the water?
Land Breeze
What is the release of water from plants into the atmosphere?
transpiration
What is an example of a chemical change?
a rusting nail or melting butter
rusting nail
How does heat transfer through conduction?
By two objects touching
High pressure brings happy fair weather and low pressure lousy rainy weather.
What type of weather does a cold front bring?
wind, thunderstorms, and cooler temperatures
What is the movement of water between the earth's surface and atmosphere?
Water Cycle
What is the change called when something new is formed?
Chemical Change
What does convection move through?
liquids and gases
Which global winds belong to NC?
Prevailing Westerlies
TRUE/FALSE
Warm fronts initially bring rain, cooler temperatures, and then fair weather follows.
FALSE - warm fronts bring warm temperatures not cooler ones.
_________________ is water vapor (gas) turning back to a liquid.
Condensation
What is an example of a physical change?
burning wood or rubbing alcohol evaporating on your hand.
rubbing alcohol evaporating on your hand.
What will change the temperature very quickly and easily in objects?
Conductors
Which direction do the prevailing westerlies blow?
west to east
What current helps keep weather along the east coast mild by warming the water and land during the cooler months?
Gulf Stream
What are rain, sleet, hail, and snow?
Precipitation
Which is an example of a chemical change?
juice freezing or milk turning sour
milk turning sour
When objects are heated up what do they do?
EXPAND
What moves air masses?
Global winds and the jet stream
Which weather phenomenon warms the water in the Pacific Ocean and helps lessen hurricanes?
El Nino
What three states of matter water be in?
solid, liquid, & gas
change in: shape, size, texture, dissolves, break apart
What causes the change in temperature to occur very slowly or very little?
Insulator
If the jet stream falls under NC what type of air will we get?
COLD air
What does La Nina do to the water in the Pacific Ocean?
Cools the water and brings more hurricanes and tornadoes in the summer.
What will happen if clouds cover the sun?
It will slow down the evaporation process.
What is proof of a chemical change?
It's a chemical change when you see or feel:
heat or light, color change, the release of gas, foaming, bubbles, fizzing
When objects are cooled they do what?
contract
what is a flow of fast-moving air that blows from west to east?
Jet Stream
What natural disaster forms over warm ocean water?
Hurricanes
