100
This occurs in the stratsophere.
What is meteors burn up?
100
This is what causes Earth's seasons.
What is the tilt of the Earth on its axis?
100
This is the way Earth's atmosphere is heated. (Use scientific terms)
What is Earth's atmosphere is heated by radiant energy from the sun-solar energy?
200
Chocoate, lettuce, and hamburger all have this type of energy.
What is chemical energy?
200
This is the definition for equinox.
What is the days when there are equal amounts of light and dark?
200
This occurs in the troposphere.
What is weather occurs and planes fly?
200
This season occurs when Earth is farthest from the sun.
What is summer because Earth is tilted towards the sun and receives more direct sunlight?
200
These are two ways energy can transfer from one material to another.
What are radiation and conduction?
300
This is the difference between kinetic and potential energy.
What is kinetic energy is the energy of motion and potential energy is stored energy?
300
This is the definition of solstice, winter and summer.
What is the shortest day and the longest day of the year?
300
This is the outermost part of the atmosphere.
What is the exosphere?
300
This season occurs when Earth is closest to the sun.
What is the winter because the planet is tilted away from the sun and receives less energy?
300
This is what is meant by reradiation.
What is that the atmosphere is heated by radiation heating the Earth and then passing its energy on to the atmosphere.
400
These are the three types of fossil fuel that may be burned for energy.
What are oil, natural gas, and coal?
400
This is perihelion.
What is when Earth and the sun are closest to each other?
400
This instrument measure wind speed in the atmosphere.
What is an anemometer?
400
This is what season it is in January in Australia.
What is winter since they are in the southern hemisphere and their seasons are the reverse of ours?
400
This is what scientists mean when they say temperature.
What is the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a material?
500
These are the three types of light found in electromagnetic waves.
What are ultraviolet, visible light, and infrared?
500
This is what centigrade means.
What is centigrade is a temperature scale based on one hundred?
500
As you travel upwards through the atmosphere, these two things both decrease.
What is oxygen and air pressure?
500
This is what would happen if the Earth was not tilted on its axis.
What is there would be no seasons?
500
This is how conduction and radiation are different.
What is conduction occurs when two molecules touch directly transfer energy. Radiation is the transfer of energy through electomagnetic waves.
