areas receive unequal amounts of heat energy

temperature of the water in the bottle

The Sun

June & August

Carpooling & using public transportation

Radiation

A = evaporation
B = Condensation
C = Precipitation

the energy budget

Temperature

it lets sunlight in but gradually lets the heat out

Convection

Evaporation

30%

A tropical storm can form a hurricane by drawing thermal energy from warm ocean water

the energy budget

Radiation

it cools & eventually condenses

Equal to

air, heat, & moisture

Methane, Carbon Dioxide & Water Vapor

Conduction

Step 1 = Water is warmed by the sun & turns into water vapor
Step 2 = Water vapor rises
Step 3 = Water vapor cools & condenses
Step 4 = Water droplets attach to dust particles in the air

Radiated Heat

1 = Tornado
2 = Thunderstorm
3 = Blizzard
4 = Hurricane
