Particle Theory
When particles are close together and move slowly.
What is a solid?
An ice cube melting into a puddle of water on a hot day.
What is solid to liquid?
When this type of heating occurs, the water will start to boil in a pot.
What is convection?
The boiling and freezing points of water.
What is 100 degrees and 0 degrees?
A measurement of the average energy of all the particles in a solid, liquid, or gas.
What is temperature?
Particle theory says that atoms have this between them.
What is space?

What are glaciers, frozen lakes and ice caps?
If you touch a metal pan's handle you will feel warmth thanks to this.
What is conduction?

What is radiation?
An area with lots of green space is going to be cooler than an area with lots of concrete, thanks to this process in plants.
What is transpiration?
When gas turns into a liquid.
What is condensation?

What is a glacier?
The zone beneath the water table that is saturated with water.
What is an aquifer?
This occurs when two objects are in contact with each other and there is no exchange or heat energy.
What is thermal equilibrium?
Precipitation results from either of these two changes.
What is gas to solid or gas to liquid?
What is 32 degrees?
Greenhouse gases trap heat into the Earth's atmosphere. This is the second largest contributor to global warming.
