Heat Transfer in the Atmosphere

Heat Transfer Sort Each Statement into True and False *There are even amounts of true and false* True Conduction works best in some solids. The upward movement of warm air and the downward movement of cool air form a convection current. Two temperature scales are the Celsius scale and the Fahrenheit scale. False In the troposphere, heat is transferred mostly by conduction. Air temperature is usually measured with a barometer. The farther apart the molecules in a substance are, the better they conduct heat. Fill in the Blanks 1. Heat is thermal energy that is transferred from a Hotter object to a Cooler one.2. The transfer of heat between two substances that are in direct contact is Conduction.3. Thermal energy measures the Total energy of motion in the particles of a substance.4. Temperature is the Average amount of energy of motion of each particle of a substance.5. The transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid is called Convection.6. The transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves is called Radiation.7. The Upward movement of warm air and the Downward movement of cool air form a Convection Current. In which substance would heat transfer by conduction work best? Oxygen Iron Water Coffee How is heat transferred from the sun to Earth? By Convection Currents By Conduction By Radiation By Thermal Energy Heat is transferred mostly by which type of heat transfer in the troposphere? By Conduction By Radiation By Convection
