EES 3.2

Study stack for EES 3.2 so mrs janz gives me a good homework grade please

QuestionAnswer
water A polar molecule (H₂O) whose hydrogen bonding gives it high cohesion, adhesion, and heat capacity, strongly influencing Earth systems.
polarity Uneven charge distribution in a molecule; water’s polarity allows hydrogen bonding and makes it an effective solvent.
surface tension The cohesive force at water’s surface caused by hydrogen bonding, creating resistance to external force.
capillary action Water’s ability to move through narrow spaces due to combined cohesion and adhesion.
cohesion Attraction between water molecules through hydrogen bonds.
adhesion Attraction between water molecules and other substances.
capacity The ability of a substance to store energy, especially thermal energy.
temperature A measure of the average kinetic energy of particles.
agent A factor that causes change in a system (ex: water as an agent of erosion).
climate Long-term average patterns of temperature, precipitation, and atmospheric conditions.
heat Thermal energy transferred due to a temperature difference.
convection Heat transfer by the movement of fluids caused by density differences.
energy transfer Movement of energy through conduction, convection, radiation, or phase change.
store To retain energy within a substance or system.
absorb To take in energy without immediate release.
transmit To pass energy through a material or system.
energy The ability to do work or cause change.
deep ocean Cold, dense ocean water below the thermocline with slow circulation.
surface water Warm, less dense ocean water influenced by solar heating and wind.
Coriolis effect The apparent deflection of moving fluids due to Earth’s rotation.
specific heat
density Mass per unit volume; affected by temperature and salinity in ocean water.
salinity The concentration of dissolved salts in water.
current A continuous, directed movement of ocean water.
thermohaline circulation Global ocean circulation driven by differences in temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline).
ocean current Large-scale water movement driven by wind, density differences, and Earth’s rotation.
wind patterns Large-scale atmospheric movements that drive surface ocean currents.
specific heat capacity The energy required to raise 1 gram of a substance by 1°C; water’s high value moderates climate.
latent heat Energy absorbed or released during a phase change without temperature change.
evaporation Liquid water changing to vapor as heat is absorbed.
condensation Water vapor changing to liquid as heat is released.
surface tension The cohesive force at water’s surface caused by hydrogen bonding, creating resistance to external force.
energy circulations Large-scale movement of heat energy through ocean and atmospheric systems.
thermocline A layer of rapid temperature change separating surface and deep ocean waters.
halocline A layer of rapid change in salinity with depth.
melting Solid water changing to liquid as energy is absorbed.
freezing Liquid water changing to solid as energy is released.
wave formation The transfer of wind energy to ocean surface water, creating waves.
heat transfer The movement of thermal energy by conduction, convection, radiation, or phase change.

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.
