Term
Definition
Energy   the ability to do work or cause change  
🗑
Kinetic Energy   the energy of motion  
🗑
Example of Kinetic Energy   bowling ball wind pushing a windmill  
🗑
Potential Energy   energy that is stored and held in rediness  
🗑
Example of Potential Energy   a ball at the top of a hill a bow pulled back and ready to shoot  
🗑
List the Six Forms of Enerygy   Thermal Electrical Electromagnetic Nuclear Chemical Mechanical  
🗑
Example of Thermal Energy   wood to make a fire  
🗑
Example of Electrical Energy   energy carried by powerlines  
🗑
Example of Electromagnetic Energy   microwave  
🗑
Example of Chemical Energy   gluecose and gasoline  
🗑
Example of Nuclear Energy   energy in the sun  
🗑
Example of Mechanical Energy   wind and bowling ball  
🗑
What is the path of energy from the sun to a lightbulb?   Nuclear to Electromagnetic (in sun) Electromagnetic to Thermal (in atmosphere) Thermal to Mechanical (wind moves) Mechanical to Electrical (in wind turbine) Electrical to Electromagnetic (in light bulb)  
🗑
What happens to water that gains energy?   It evaporates  
🗑
What happens to water vapor that loses energy?   It condenses and may freeze  
🗑
What happens when cold water is on top of warm water?   The warm water will rise because it is less dense and the cold water will sink. This will cause the water to mix and be a even temperature.  
🗑
Describe what happens when salt water is ontop of fresh water.   Salt water will sink because it is more dense.  
🗑
Describe what happens when fresh water is ontop of salt water.   Fresh water is less dense so it stays on the surface or "floats".  
🗑
What drives deep water currents?   Different densities  
🗑
What drives surface currents?   Winds  
🗑
What form of energy do we get from the sun?   Electromagnetic  
🗑
What type of heat transfers take place from the sun to our atmosphere?   The suns energy heats the ground (radiation) The air molecules touching the ground are heated (conduction) The warm air molecules move up and around, heating the atmosphere (convection)  
🗑
Wind   Horizontal movement of air from areas of high pressure to low pressure.  
🗑
Is cold air or warm air denser?   Cold air  
🗑
Does cold air or warm air have greater pressure   Cold air  
🗑
Which way will the wind blow? Ocean= 22 degrees Land= 28 degrees   From the ocean to the land (sea breeze)  
🗑
Tornadoe   a narrow, violently rotating column of air that extends from the base of a cloud to the ground  
🗑
What are 5 likely tornado conditions?   sping or summer late afternoon after tunderstorm in tornado alley where cold dry and warm moist air meet  
🗑
