Energy in the Layers/Zones of the Ocean
Photosynthesis
The warmest layer of the atmosphere
Thermosphere
Energy travels from the direction of hot to cold or from cold to hot
Hot to Cold
Where is the ozone layer located in the atmosphere?
Stratosphere
Heat interacting with objects
Thermal Energy
Heterotrophs
The process of gases heating up the Earth from being trapped in the atmosphere.
Greenhouse Effect
Kinetic energy is the energy of:
Motion
Name a type of greenhouse gas that insulates the Earth by being captured by the atmosphere after it is reflected off the surface of the Earth
Carbon Dioxide
Methane
Ozone
Nitric Oxide
Water Vapor
Radiant energy beaming from the Sun
Light Energy
The layer of the ocean where photosynthesis begins to stop because sunlight cannot reach deep enough
Midnight Zone
The type of energy captured from the Sun to make sources of secondary energy like electricity
Solar Energy
Energy usually travels in the forms of these things like from the Sun or through water
Waves
Besides solar power, tell me another type of renewable (which is not coal, oil, or natural gas) energy:
wind
hydroelectric
Biomass (autotrophs)
Energy in motion
Kinetic Energy
The ocean has been researched to reveal that it is raising little by little in sea level as these things are melting from an increase in Earth's temperature.
Glaciers
Ice Caps
Energy from the air is called this:
Wind energy
The three types of thermal energy transfer
Radiation, Conduction, Convection
These are sometimes placed on homes or buildings to capture photons and solar energy from the Sun for power
Solar Panels
Energy that is stored.
Potential Energy
The physical movement of tides, waves, or currents is this type of flow of energy which occurs in the ocean
Mechanical Energy
What is one renewable energy found in the sky?
Solar energy from the Sun
Wind energy from the air
Hydroelectric energy from the water
What is the fastest type of thermal energy transfer?
Radiation
Conduction
Convection
Radiation as Waves
The primary source of all energy on Earth which depletes our ozone with ultraviolet radiation.
The Sun
Energy generated by splitting chemical atoms
Nuclear Energy
