Atmospheric Heating Of the amount of the energy that reaches earth, this percentage is absorbed by earth’s surface What is 50%?

Atmospheric Heating The total amount of the Sun’s released energy that reaches our planet. What is about 2 billionths?

Atmospheric Heating The energy from this drives the weather cycle. What is the Sun?

Atmospheric Heating Virtually all of the energy that reaches our planet comes from here What is the Sun?

Atmospheric Heating Radiation that reaches Earth does either this or that What are absorption and reflection?

Heating Transfer This type of heat transfer moves in circles through air and water What is convection?

Heat Transfer Energy as heat passes through a material What is thermal conduction?

Heat Transfer When energy is transferred through electromagnetic waves What is radiation?

Heat Transfer This transfer heats air directly next to the earth’s surface. What is thermal conduction?

Heat Transfer Currents created in air are caused by rising warm air and sinking cool air What is convection?

Climate Change These atmospheric gases trap enough heat for life on Earth. What are greenhouse gases?

Climate Change The ratio of energy coming into the atmosphere vs. the energy going out of the atmosphere. What is the radiation balance?

Climate Change a gradual increase in average global temperature thought to be caused by deforestation, burning of fossil fuels, and industrial pollution. What is climate change or global warming?

Climate Change Scientists use these arctic samples to study the atmosphere from the past What are ice core samples?

Climate Change This expression describes how radiation transfers to thermal energy in the atmosphere and on Earth, then is trapped by gases in the atmosphere. What is the greenhouse effect?

Labs: S. Angle/E. Materials The reason the equatorial region (tropics) are warmer than the polar region? What is solar angle?

Labs: S. Angle/E. Materials This earth material was quickest to heat and quickest to cool. What is air?

DAILY DOUBLE – Labs! A cool and fresh breeze that blows in from the sea while you tan on a hot beach. What is a sea breeze?

Labs: S. Angle/E. Materials This earth material was slowest to heat and slowest to cool. What is water?

Labs: S. Angle/E. Materials A term that describes how the amount of solar energy decreases as you move away from the equator. What is beam spreading?

CCR Your feet burn when you walk out onto a black road on a hot summer day. What is conduction?

CCR The reason the blacktop gets hot on a sunny day. What is radiation?

CCR The reason that the best place to put a space heater is at floor level. What is convection?

CCR Water molecules circulate while boiling in a pot. What is convection?

CCR A burger is frying on one side in a pan. What is conduction?
