|
Kinetic Energy
|
Energy of motion
|
|
Conduction
|
Energy is transported from hot to cold by random atomic at a rate that depends on the material
|
|
Convection
|
Energy transport by organized motion of atoms or molecules (works in gases and liquids or solids) Free (rising and sinking air)
|
|
Adding energy to an object will
|
Cause the objects temperature to increase
|
|
A city on the coastline will have a more moderate climate because
|
Oceans moderate the Climate
|
|
Latent Energy
|
2nd most important energy transport process
|
|
Rising air
|
Expands and cools, sometimes forms a cloud
|
|
Boiling point Celsius
|
100
|
|
Water freezes Celsius
|
0

|
212
|
|
Fahrenheit Freezing Point
|

|
Food Calorie equals
|
1000 weather calories
|
|
Energy emitted in the form of infrared light is
|
an invisible form of energy
|
|
Adding energy to an object will eventually
|
cause the objects temperature to increase
|
|
Like charges
|
repel
|
|
opposite charges
|
attract
|
|
EM radiation can be caused
|
when you make a charge go up and down
|
|
Radiation can be caused
|
by moving charges
|
|
Oscillating electric and magenetic fields that can
|
propagate through empty space
|
|
You add energy to cause the charges to
|
oscillate and produce radiation
|
|
Energy reappears when the resulting radiation causes
|
electrical charges somewhere else to move
|
|
Wavelength is one way of
|
distinguishing between different types of radiation
|
|
You determine what type of radiation an object will emit by
|
Temperature
|
|
Incoming Radiant is balanced by an
|
equal amount of outgoing radiant energy, temperature remains constant
|
|
With an atmosphere containing greenhouse gases the temperature of the earth's surface
|
is warmer than it would without an atmosphere
|
|
h20, CO2, and other greenhouse gases
|
selectively absorb IR radiation
|
|
The atmosphere radiates IR radiation
|
into space and back toward the ground
|
|
How do clouds affect the temperature at the earth's surface
|
Clouds block sunlight during the day and prevent heat from escaping at night
