Weather Lesson 1

What are weather conditions?

• Things that occur as the seasons change.

• Patterns scientists use to predict the weather.

• Storms, tornadoes, floods, hurricanes, etc.

What is conduction?

• Energy or heat spreads out through space.

• Energy or heat is transferred from one object to another or within an object.

• The process in which warm, less dense air rises and cold, more dense air sinks.

What is convection?

• Heat/energy spreads out through space.

• Energy/heat is transferred from one object to another or within an object.

• Process in which warm, less dense air rises and cold, more dense air sinks.

What is radiation?

• Heat/energy spreads out through space.

• Heat/energy is transferred from one object to another or within an object.

• The process in which warm, less dense air rises and cold, more dense air sinks.

What happens to the molecules when an object or substance is heated?

• The molecules speed up and spread out.

• The molecules slow down and move closer together.

• The molecules stay the same.

Where is most of the sun's energy absorbed?

• in the air

• at Earth's surface

• in the water

How is the air heated?

• Air is only heated by the sun's energy being transferred to the air.

• The water at Earth's surface is warmer than the air. This energy from the water is absorbed by the air.

• The sun's energy is absorbed at Earth's surface. This energy is then conducted to the air.

What is density?

• the mass

• the mass per unit of volume

• the volume
