  • Heat transfer through convection means...?
    heat being transferred through the rising of hot gas or liquid and the falling of cold gas or liquid.
  • Give an example of radiation.
    feeling the heat from a campfire.
  • Draw Sea Breeze on the board.
    Ask Mr. Guest
  • Give an example of conduction.
    A child burns their feet on the hot Asphait.
  • Tornadoes form from which type of cloud?
    cumulonimbus clouds
  • What is a meteorologist?
    a person who studies the weather.
  • According to the image, which direction does heat travel?
    From the Equator toward the Poles
  • Heat energy moves through a material by conduction when---
    two objects touch and heat travels from the hot object to the cold object.
  • How is radiation difference from both convection and conduction?
    Radiation can travel through empty space
  • Which characteristic do thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes all have in common?
    Strong winds
  • What type of weather will you get if a cold front meets a low-pressure system?
    Cloudy, wet, Probably thunderstorms
  • What is the image representing?
    Sea Breeze
  • What is the difference between climate and weather?
    climate is years, weather is a few days.
  • Describe how convection currents work.
    Warm fluids expand and rise; Cold fluids contract and sink.
  • What is the image representing?
    Land Breeze
  • Large tropical storms with high winds are called...?
    Hurricanes
  • what type of weather does a cold front cause?
    thunderstorm followed by cold temperatures
  • TRUE/FALSE: Sea Breeze occurs during the day.
    True
  • What is this graph showing?
    Ocean temperature and # of hurricanes
  • What are 2 conditions that are necessary for a hurricane to form?
    Warm ocean water
  • The image below is an example of a convection current. (T/F)
    False
  • As the ocean temperatures increase, the _____________________ will increase as well.
    Number of hurricanes
  • How is hail formed?
    Repeated updrafts into a cumulonimbus cloud
  • A broad body of air with similar humidity and temperature is a ...?
    Air Mass
  • Barometric pressure and temperature are both dropping rapidly. Guess the weather...
    thunderstorms
  • Draw Land Breeze on the Board.
