What is runoff?

Back

Runoff is the water that flows over the ground surface and returns to bodies of water, often after rain or snowmelt.

Front

What type of heat transfer occurs in a hot air balloon?

Back

Convection is the type of heat transfer that occurs in a hot air balloon, where warm air rises and cooler air descends.

Front

What is condensation?

Back

Condensation is the process by which water vapor in the air cools and changes into liquid water, forming droplets.

Front

What is kinetic energy (KE)?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion, which depends on its mass and speed.

Front

What is infiltration?

Back

Infiltration is the process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil.

Front

What is the difference between conduction and convection?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact, while convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids.

Front

What is an example of radiation?

Back

An example of radiation is the heat from the sun warming your skin.

Front

How does temperature affect the density of air?

Back

As temperature increases, the density of air decreases, causing warm air to rise.

Front

What is the water cycle?

Back

The water cycle is the continuous process by which water moves through the environment, including evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.

Front

What is evaporation?

Back

Evaporation is the process by which liquid water turns into water vapor and enters the atmosphere.
