conduction and geological processes
100
Energy that travels in the form of electromagnetic waves through empty space; includes visible light, ultraviolet rays, and infrared rays.
What is radiant energy?
100
the transfer of thermal energy through a substance. or between substances in contact, by the collision of particles.
what is conduction?
100
the transfer of thermal energy from one part of a fluid to another by a circulating current of faster-moving particles.
what is convection?
100
energy contained below Earth's surface.
what is geothermal energy?
200
the transfer of radiant energy by means of electromagnetic waves.
what is radiation?
200
transfers from the hot stove burner and through the pan.
what does thermal energy do?
200
the circular flow of water particles in a warming pot of soup.
what are convection currents?
200
rock formed from magma that has cooled and solidified.
what is igneous rock?
300
Radiant energy released by the sun.
what is solar energy?
300
these materials that we use for cooking conduct energy quickly from a hot burner to cold food.
what are pots and pans?
300
convection currents can also form in these.
what are lakes, oceans, aquariums, and the air around you?
300
rock that is formed when heat pressure change existing rock.
what is metamorphic rock?
400
other forms of radiant energy from the sun.
what are UV rays, X rays, and gamma rays?
400
these materials are called conductors because they transfer energy easily.
what is copper and aluminum? 
400
the continuous movement of warmer and colder soup in a pot.
what is convection?
400
a mineral composed of pure carbon.
what is diamond?
500
they glow because they give off visible light.
what are candle flames and incandescent light bulbs?
500
thermal energy is transferred less easily through... than through metal.
what is wood and plastic?
500
in substances such as water and air, this form of energy can be transferred from one area to another.
what is thermal energy?
500
common igneous rocks.
what are pumice, obsidian, and granite?
