Energy
Energy cannot be created nor destroyed only transfered or transformed
Law of Conservation of Energy
Evaporation, condensation, precipitation
Three stages of the water cycle
Electromagnetic waves
What is Radiation
All of the living organisms on Earth
Biosphere
The total kinetic and potential energy of all the particles in an object
Thermal Energy
The ability to do work
What is Energy?
The process of evaporation from plants
What is transpiration?
Takes place in fluids such as gases and liquids
What is Convection?
The Water Cycle
What is the hydrosphere and the atmosphere?
The point above sea level
Elevation
When objects are in motion they have this type of energy
what is kinetic energy?
After evaporation, water builds up in cloud formations
What is condensation?
This type of heat transfer occurs when you burn your hand on a hot metal pan
What is conduction?
Most of the Earth's mass is in the form of rock and metal
The geosphere
A line that forms between land and the ocean
Coastlines
The total kinetic and potential energy a particle has
What is thermal energy?
This process occurs when water soaks in the ground and travels underground
What is infiltration?
materials that are capable of transferring materials very well
what are conductors?
The two spheres involved in evaporation
The hydrosphere and atmosphere
The atmosphere traps gases and some gases escape
Greenhouse gas effect
At the top of a rollercoaster, you will have the most amount of this type of energy
What is potential energy?
When water travels down a landform and returns back to a water sources
What is runoff?
Sea level rising, gases being trapped in the atmosphere, Global warming, carbon dioxide and methane levels rising.
rd
What is the greenhouse effect
Ice, snow, sleet, and frozen water
Cryopshere
The energy that an object posses by virtue of being in motion
Kinetic Energy
