| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| water | – A clear liquid essential for life |
| polarity | Water has slightly positive and negative ends, so it sticks to other things. |
| surface tension | Water molecules stick together at the surface, forming a “skin. |
| capillary action | Water moves up narrow spaces without gravity. |
| cohesion | Water molecules sticking to each other. |
| adhesion | Water molecules sticking to other materials. |
| capcity | the ability to hold or store something. |
| temp | How hot or cold something is. |
| agent | Something that causes change or does work. |
| climate | he average weather of a place over a long time. |
| heat | Energy that moves from warmer objects to cooler ones. |
| convection | Heat transfer by movement of liquids or gases. |
| energy transfer | Movement of energy from one place or object to another. |
| store | to keep energy for later use. |
| absorb | To take in energy or heat. |
| transmit | To pass energy through something. |
| energy | The ability to do work or cause change. |
| deep ocean | The cold, dark parts of the ocean far below the surface. |
| surface water | Water at the top layer of the ocean. |
| coolios effect | The bending of wind and ocean currents due to Earth’s rotation. |
| specific heat | How much heat is needed to change a substance’s temperature. |
| density | How heavy something is for its size. |
| salinity | The amount of salt in water. |
| current | A steady flow of water in the ocean. |
| thermohaline circulation | Global ocean movement caused by temperature and salinity differences. |
| ocean current | Large-scale movement of ocean water. |
| wind patterns | Usual directions that winds blow. |
| specific heat capacity | How much heat a substance can store without heating up quickly. |
| lanet heat | Heat absorbed or released during a change of state (like melting). |
| condention | – Water vapor changing back into liquid. |
| energy circulation | – Movement of energy through Earth systems. |
| thermocline | Layer in the ocean where temperature changes quickly. |
| halocline | Layer in the ocean where salinity changes quickly. |
| melting | Solid turning into liquid. |
| freezing | Liquid turning into solid. |
| wave formation | Creation of waves by wind and energy. |
| heat transfer | Movement of heat from one place to another. |
