How is temperature measured? | a thermometer. |
In what three ways is heat transferred? | radiation, conduction, and convection. |
How is heat transferred in the troposphere? | Radiation, conduction, and convection work together to heat |
Temperature | the average amount of energy of motion of each particle of a substance |
Thermal Energy | the total energy of motion in the particles of a substance |
Thermometer | a thin glass tube with a bulb on one end that contains the liquid, usually mercury or colored alcohol, that tells the temperature |
Heat | the transferred thermal energy from a hotter object to a cooler one |
Conduction | the direct transfer of heat from one substance to another substance that is touching |
Convection | the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid |
Convection Currents | the upward movement of warm air and the downward movement of cool air form |
