Convection #1

Front

What happens to hot particles in a fluid?

Back

Hot particles are less dense and rise.

Front

In which states of matter does convection occur?

Back

Convection occurs in fluids (liquids and gases).

Front

What is the best way to escape a smoky room during a fire?

Back

Crawl along the floor because the hot smoke will rise to the ceiling.

Front

Where is the best place to put a furnace in a building?

Back

In the basement because heat rises.

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is how close together the particles are to each other.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and density in fluids?

Back

As temperature increases, density decreases, causing hot fluids to rise.

Front

What is convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids.

Front

Give an example of convection in everyday life.

Back

Boiling water: hot water rises to the top while cooler water sinks.

Front

What role does convection play in weather patterns?

Back

Convection helps distribute heat in the atmosphere, influencing weather.

Front

How does convection affect ocean currents?

Back

Warm water rises and cold water sinks, creating currents in the ocean.
