Two types of Energy
Energy is the ability to blank change.
Energy is the ability to cause change.
Wind is the movement of air caused by differences in what?
Air pressure
Energy can be transferred by what 3 things?
Conduction,Convection,and Radiation.
The atmosphere has 2 main gases in it, what are they?
Nitrogen(78%) and Oxygen(21%)
There are two types of energy blank energy and blank energy.
There are two types of energy, kinetic energy, and potential energy.
What are two examples of local winds?
sea breeze, land breeze, valley breeze, and mountain breezes.
Conduction is the transfer of energy through what?
Direct contact
The blank states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change form.
law of conservation of energy
Kinetic energy is the energy that an object has due to blank.
Kinetic energy is the energy that an object has due to motion.
what are local winds?
The movement of air over short distances
Radiation is the transfer of energy through what?
Electromagnetic waves
What is it called when energy changes form?
Energy transformation
True or False?
Potential energy is the energy an object has due to its condition, position, or chemical composition.
True.
What is one example of global winds?
1.trade winds
2.Westerlies
3.Polar easterlies
4 Doldrums and horse latitudes
Convection is the transfer of energy due to movement of matter it can occur in what?
liquid or a gas.
the atmosphere has blank% nitrogen
the atmosphere has 78% nitrogen
Can an object have kinetic and potential energy at the same time?
Yes, a bird has kinetic energy because it's speed also having potential because of its height of the ground.
what are global winds named for?
The direction they come from
why is it that some things heat faster and cool faster than others?
Because different materials heat and cool differently.
What is one of the forms that energy can take?
