Are You Smarter Than a 7th Grader? 1,000,000 Are You Smarter Than a 7th Grader? 500,000 300,000 Dotting the Earth Seasons 175,000 100,000 Heat Capacity1 Atmospheric Heating1 50,000 Atmospheric Heating2 Density 25,000 10,000 Latitude Thermal radiation 5,000 2,000 Heat Capacity2 Wind 1,000

7th Grade Heat Capacity You are swimming in the ocean on a hot sunny day. The ocean feels very cold on your body. You take a swim on the same beach at night and the ocean is nice and warm. What is the best explanation for this?

7th Grade Heat Capacity Answer Water has a high heat capacity and holds heat in. The wind moved the cold water away and replaced it with warm water. Water has a low heat capacity and gives up its heat easily. The energy from the sun is more spread out at night, warming the area. Return

7th Grade Wind The apparent curving of the winds and ocean currents due to the Earths rotation is called what?

7th Grade Wind Trade winds Coriolis effect Pressure belts Polar Easterlies Return

7th Grade Dotting the Earth Which area of the earth receives the least sunlight?

7th Grade Dotting the Earth a. mid-latitudes b. north/south poles c. equator Return

7th Grade Seasons Explain the reason we have seasons

7th Grade Seasons The spinning of the earth on its axis The tilt of the earth on its path around the sun The climate of an area. The latitude of an area. Return

7th Grade Heat Capacity1 Its 92 degrees outside which means that everything is 92 degrees. Explain why the asphalt feels hotter than the grass.

7th Grade Heat Capacity1 Grass has a higher heat capacity Asphalt has a higher heat capacity Return

7th Grade Atmospheric heating1 What can be said about the density of air?

7th Grade Atmospheric heating1 The density decreases as the air warms up. The density increases as the air warms up. The density doesn’t change, thermal radiation doesn’t affect air density. Return

7th Grade Atmospheric heating2 How does Earth get its energy?

7th Grade Atmospheric heating2 A = Radiation B = Conduction C = Convection Return

7th Grade Density Which of the following is true:

7th Grade Density Which statement is correct Cold air and cold water will sink Cold air rises and warm water sinks Warm air and warm water will sink Warm air sinks but cold Return

7th Grade Latitude At what degree latitude is the equator?

7th Grade Latitude 0 degrees 30 degrees 60 degrees 90 degrees Return

7th Grade Thermal radiation Cooking pancakes on a griddle is an example of….

7th Grade Thermal radiation Convection Conduction Radiation Return

7th Grade Density Cold air and cold water will sink

1,000,000 Question How does our sun produce light and heat?

1,000,000 Answer The sun produces light and heat through fusion. The nucleus of two atoms combine and heat and light are created. Fusion is also the process that we use in our nuclear reactors. Return
