LINE graphs
Movement of thermal energy by the collision of particles.
What is conduction?
Movement of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object
What is Heat?
A device that transforms thermal energy into mechanical energy.
What is a heat engine?
A device that regulates temperature of a system.
What is a thermostat?
Amount of thermal energy it takes to increase the temperature of 1 kg of material by 1°C
What is specific heat?
Movement of thermal energy through the movement of the material it's in.
What is convection?
A device that uses heat to cool foods.
What is a refrigerator?
A device that transforms electrical energy into thermal energy.
What is a heat appliance?
The special design inside all thermostats that allows it to expand and contract as needed.
What is the bimetallic coil?
Decrease in a material's volume when the temperature is decreased
What is thermal contraction?
The transfer that occurs when particles in matter transfer kinetic energy through collisions.
What is conduction?
As the temperature difference between objects increases, the heat will do this.

Movement of fluids in a cycle because of convection
What is a Convection Current?
The transfer that is responsible for the movement of tectonic plates.
What is convection?
An object with low specific heat does this.
What is heats up easily/with little thermal energy.
Causes an objects thermal energy to increase.
What is increasing the kinetic energy of the particles that make up the material?
The approximate temperature of a room that is 72°F in Celsius.
What is 22°C?
