This is what all objects on Earth are made of.
What are particles?
Galileo is created with inventing this instrument to measure temperature
what is a thermometer?
The sun transfers energy to Earth through this process, which doesnt require physical contact
What is radiation?
This sphere encompasses all of rock, sand, and soil.
What is the geosphere?
This nearly invisible gas makes up 21% of the Earths atmosphere and is vital for respiration
What is oxygen?
Despite being too small to see, this is a constant activity of particles in matter
What is constant movement?
what is it decreases
Known for transferring energy due to differences in density, this process causes warm air to ride and cool air to sink
What is convection?
This layer of gases where humans and most weather reside is called this
What is the atmosphere?
This thin atmospheric layer is where the phenomena of weather and humans co exit
what is the tropsphere?
When the temperature of a material increases, this happens to its particles
What is they move faster?
This is the energy transferred between objects
what is heat?
This atmospheric later, where weather occurs, is closest to Earths surface
What is the troposphere?
The layer with fewest particles and extremely high temperatures is this one
What is the exosphere?
this sphere includes all the water found on Earths surface, underground, and in the air.
What is the hydrosphere?
This type of energy is associated with an objects motion
What is kinetic energy?
Thermal energy always flows in this direction between objects
What is from warmer objects to cooler objects?
The primary function of this atmospheric component is to absorb harmful UV rays
Energy flows from the ground to warm air through this mechanism due to differences in density
What is convection?
Earths sphere that consists of all living organisms and areas they inhabit is called this.
What is biosphere?
In scientific terms, this is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles
What is temperature?
This process describes the transfer of energy from one part of a material to another through direct contact
What is conduction?
Known for its extreme heat, sparse particles, and satellite orbits, this atmospheric later sits above the mesosphere
What is thermosphere?
Known to burn up meteors, this atmospheric layer sits just above the stratosphere
What is the mesosphere?
This liquid to gas transition occurs at the surface of a liquid
What is evaporation?
