| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 1. A measure of the AVERAGE kinetic energy is a measure of ___________________________ | temperature |
| 2. Temperature is measured with what tool? | thermometer |
| 3. Name the two commonly used labels for temperature | degree C and degree F |
| 4. WHEN might temperatures rise due to cloud cover? | night |
| 5. Heat will travel from the ________________________ to the ________________________ due to the differences in energy | heat source, heat sink |
| 6. Heat transfer in all directions is called | radiation |
| 7. Heat transfer by touching the heat source to the heat sink is called | conduction |
| 8. Heat transfer that results when heat rises is called | convection |
| 9. The Earth’s surface is heated by what form of heat tranfer | radiation |
| 10. The air that touches the Earth’s surface is heated by what form of heat transfer | conduction |
| 11. Our whole atmosphere is heated by what form of heat transfer | convection |
| 12. Weather ultimately happens because of this kind of heat transfer | convection |
| 13. When heat rises, cools, sinks, gets heated again, rises (over and over) it creates a | convection cell/current/cycle |
| 12. When solar energy is trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere it is known a | greenhouse effect |
| 13. If the greenhouse effect were to continue every day all over the world, the Earth might experience | global warming |
| 14. Isolines that connect temperatures of the same value are called | isotherms |
