Unit 5- Earth's Heat

Explain how the sun's energy affects the movement of air in the atmosphere.

• It causes the air to move in a straight line.

• It creates patterns of atmospheric movement.

• It has no effect on air movement.

• It only affects the movement of water.

DOK Level 1: Recall

Describe how temperature differences between land and water can influence weather patterns.

• They have no effect on weather patterns.

• They cause the land to always be warmer than the water.

• They can lead to the formation of sea breezes.

• They make the water evaporate faster than the land.

DOK Level 2: Skill/Concept

Differentiate between radiation and convection as methods of heat transfer.

• Radiation requires a medium, while convection does not.

• Convection involves the movement of fluids, while radiation does not.

• Both require direct contact between objects.

• Both involve the transfer of heat through solids.

How does convection contribute to the transfer of heat in the Earth's atmosphere?

• By direct contact between molecules.

• By the movement of air masses.

• By electromagnetic waves.

• By reflecting heat back into space.

DOK Level 2: Skill/Concept

Explain the role of the sun in creating temperature differences between air, water, and land.

• The sun heats all surfaces equally.

• The sun's energy is absorbed differently by air, water, and land.

• The sun only heats the air.

• The sun's energy is reflected by all surfaces.
