Quiz 12
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| WHAT IS EVAPORATION? | when liquid water turns into a gas from the sun's heat energy |
| WHAT IS CONDENSATION? | when gas water turns into a liquid |
| WHAT IS PRECIPITATION? | liquid water falling from the atmosphere to earth's surface |
| WHAT IS GROUNDWATER? | precipitation that seeps into the ground |
| WHAT IS RUNOFF? | precipitation that flows along earth's surface |
| WHAT IS THE WATER CYCLE? | the cycle of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation |
| WHAT IS CONDUCTION? | the transfer of energy from hot matter to cold matter when molecules come in contact with each other |
| WHAT IS RADIATION? | heat energy traveling from the sun to earth like waves |
| WHAT IS TEMPERATURE? | the measure of the average kinetic energy of a substance |
| WHAT IS DIFFERENTIAL HEATING? | different substances heat up/cool down at different rates |
| WHAT IS DEW POINT? | when the air temp. gets cold enough to make water vapor turn to liquid |
| WATER COMES IN 3 STATES OR FORMS-NAME THEM & GIVE EXAMPLES OF EACH | liquid-rain, rivers solid-snow, ice gas-humidity, water vapor |
| NAME THE 3 MAIN COMPONENTS OF THE WATER CYCLE | evaporation, condensation, precipitation |
| NAME THE 2 WAYS THAT ATOMS MOVE. EXPLAIN EACH. | 1. VIBRATIONAL MOVEMENT - solid, locked, cooler, slower 2.LINEAR MOVEMENT - liquid, not locked, hotter, faster |
| WHAT ARE THE 2 WAYS THAT HEAT CAN BE TRANSFERRED? | radiation and re-radiation |
| EXPLAIN RADIATION | radiant energy travels through space until it hits an atom, making heat |
| WHAT % OF RADIANT ENERGY BOUNCES BACK INTO SPACE? | 30% |
| WHAT % OF RADIANT ENERGY IS ABSORBED BY CLOUDS AND ATMOSPHERE? | 20% |
| WHAT % OF RADIANT ENERGY IS ABSORBED BY THE LAND OR WATER? | 50% |
| EXPLAIN DIFFERENTIAL HEATING? | different substances heat up/cool down at different rates EX:water heats up 5 times slower than dry soil or sand |
| EXPLAIN HOW HEAT TRANSFERS THROUGH MATTER. | once one atom is heated up, it passes some of its heat to another atom that is touching it...this keeps happening over and over and over again |
| WHY DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE DIFFERENTIAL HEATING OF AIR AND WATER? | air heats up/cools down 5x faster than water |
| WHAT INGREDIENTS DO YOU NEED TO MAKE A CLOUD? | 1. water vapor 2. temp. change (hot to cold) 3. tiny matter (dust) |
| EXPLAIN HOW CLOUDS FORM. | 1)warm air with water vapor start to rise 2)as the air gets higher it starts to cool off 3)when the air cools off enough, the water vapor condenses on pieces of matter (turns back into liquid and forms a cloud) |
