Study Notes

Convection

  • The circular flow created by warm air rising and cool air sinking is called convection.
  • Convection is a major force that helps create wind and weather patterns.

Heat Transfer

  • Heat is the transfer of thermal energy from one object to another.
  • The warmth you feel from the sun is due to radiation.
  • The sun emits electromagnetic radiation.

The Greenhouse Effect

  • The greenhouse effect is a natural process that helps keep the Earth warm.
  • Certain gases in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun.

Types of Heat Transfer

  • Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between objects.
  • Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases).
  • Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.

Convection

  • Convection occurs in fluids, not solids.
  • In a heated pot of water, hot water at the bottom of the pot rises because it is less dense than the cooler water at the top.
  • The cooler water then sinks, creating a circular flow.

Temperature

  • Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.
  • Temperature always flows from something hotter to something cooler.
  • Common measurement units for temperature are Celsius (°C), Fahrenheit (°F), and Kelvin (K).

Temperature and Particle Energy

  • The higher the temperature, the more energy the particles have.
  • This is because the particles are moving faster at higher temperatures.
  • Temperature can be thought of as a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.
