Stack #2432016

QuestionAnswer
absolute zero temperature where the molecular activity stops
absorb when sunlight is soaked in by a object or a substance
conduction energy moves through solid materials by molecular collisions
convection transfer of energy through fluids
electromagnetic waves all energy flows in waves from source to sink. higher temperature is better source of energy.
insolation wind doesn't get through
land breeze breeze comes from the land
latent heat of fusion energy stored in water molecules when we apply heat to them but they do not get hotter, they just change phase
angle of isolation angle sunlight is hitting earth
duration of isolation how much time sun is over horizon
latent heat of vaporization amount of energy given off or absorbed by water during phase change between liquid and gas
radiation transfer of energy through space
radiative balance over time the average temperature of Earth hardily changes, because it is re radiating as much as it absorbs
reflection whenever we see something we are seeing the light that is reflected off it
refraction when sunlight hits gases in the atmosphere it reflects or blends
sea breeze breeze comes from the sea
sink soaks in or absorbs energy
source higher temperature then everything about it, gives off energy
specific heat about of energy that is required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree celsius

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
