Thermal Energy and Water

What is thermal energy?

• The total kinetic energy of moving particles of matter

• The average kinetic energy of particles of matter

• The potential energy of particles of matter

• The energy stored in chemical bonds

What is the relationship between thermal energy and kinetic energy?

• As thermal energy increases so does kinetic energy.

• As thermal energy increases, kinetic energy decreases.

• As thermal energy decreases, kinetic energy remains constant.

• As thermal energy increases, kinetic energy remains constant.

Could a block of ice have more thermal energy than a pot of boiling water?

• No, the pot of boiling water always has more thermal energy

• Yes, if the block of ice has a greater mass than the pot of boiling water

• No, thermal energy is not related to the mass of the substance

• Yes, if the block of ice has a higher temperature than the pot of boiling water

What happens to water when thermal energy is added?

• It changes from a solid to a liquid

• It changes from a gas to a liquid.

• It changes from a gas to a solid

• It changes from a liquid to a solid

What is the water cycle?

• The process of water molecules changing phases

• The process of water freezing into ice

• The process of water evaporating into the atmosphere

• The process of water flowing in rivers and streams

What is precipitation?

• When water evaporates from the surface of the oceans

• When water falls from the clouds as rain, sleet, snow, ice, or hail

• When water flows over the surface of the ground

• When water sinks into underground water reserves

How do large bodies of water affect climate?

• They cause extreme temperature fluctuations

• They have no effect on climate

• They absorb thermal energy and moderate the climate

• They create more precipitation in surrounding areas
