Ways to Transfer Heat

Radiation Energy from the sun reaches our planet in the form of radiant energy or radiation. *Forms of radiant energy include: heat, light, X-rays, and radio waves.*

The sun gives off different types of radiation. Radiation is the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves. The sun gives off different types of radiation. Waves can either: Get reflected back into space Get absorbed by the atmosphere Get absorbed by land and water more common

Conduction The direct transfer of heat from one substance to another substance is called conduction. Example: When the sun’s radiation is absorbed by an object like asphalt and we walk on it, we feel the heat because of conduction.

Some solids like metals or glass are good conductors of heat that is why we use them for cooking.

Convection Convection is the transfer of heat by the flow of material. Warm air = molecules far apart; low air pressure; lower density Cool air = molecules close together; high air pressure; higher density

Cooler, denser air sinks while warmer, less dense air rises, forming a convection current.

Earth's Water All the water on Earth’s surface is the hydrosphere. 97% salt water – 2% of which is frozen 3% fresh water – 2/3 of which is frozen in the ice caps 1% of the water supply on earth can be used as drinking water http://www.lenntech.com/Water-Quantity-FAQ.htm
