Unit 6 Part 1 Heat Transfer and Atmosphere

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Heat Transfer   This is how heat moves from one place to another. Heat always moves from something hot to something cooler, like when you touch a warm cup and feel the heat in your hand.  
🗑
Conduction   The way heat moves through touch, like a spoon getting hot in soup.  
🗑
Convection   The way heat moves through liquids and gases, like warm air rising and cool air sinking.  
🗑
Radiation   Heat traveling through space, like the Sun warming your face.  
🗑
Convection Currents   This happens when warm air or liquid rises, and cooler air or liquid sinks, creating a cycle. It’s like how hot soup moves around in a pot or how wind moves in the atmosphere.  
🗑
Electromagnetic Waves   These are invisible waves that carry energy, like sunlight, radio waves, or X-rays. You can feel the heat from the Sun even though there's empty space between the Earth and the Sun because of these waves.  
🗑
Radiant Energy   This is energy that travels in waves, like light or heat from the Sun, a fire, or a light bulb. You feel radiant energy when you stand near something warm.  
🗑
Greenhouse Gases   Gases like carbon dioxide and methane that trap heat in the atmosphere, keeping Earth warm.  
🗑
Atmosphere   The layer of air that surrounds Earth and protects us.  
🗑
Troposphere   The lowest layer of the atmosphere, where all weather happens.  
🗑
Stratosphere   A layer of the atmosphere where airplanes fly and the ozone layer is found.  
🗑
Ozone layer   A part of the atmosphere that protects us from the Sun’s harmful rays.  
🗑
Mesosphere   A layer of the atmosphere where meteors burn up, making shooting stars.  
🗑
Thermosphere   A very hot layer of the atmosphere where the northern lights happen.  
🗑
Exosphere   The very edge of our atmosphere; in this layer the air is extremely thin and separates the rest of the atmosphere from outer space.  
🗑
Air Pressure   The weight of the air pushing down on everything.  
🗑
