CONVECTION transfer of heat by the movement of warmed matter; hot air/water rises, cool air/water sinks

Hot Air is Less Dense! (so it rises)

What Can Convection Do?

“What causes the wind to blow?” Turn to your partner and answer the question: “What is wind?” “What causes the wind to blow?” Together, select the explanation you both think is the most accurate. Share with the class!

CONVECTION Moves air in the atmosphere!

CONVECTION Wind over the shore changes direction because of EARTH’S UNEVEN WARMING & COOLING!

BrainPop What is wind?

What is wind. Wind is air in motion. How is wind made What is wind? Wind is air in motion. How is wind made? It is produced by the uneven heating of the earth’s surface by the sun.

What causes the wind to blow? As the sun warms the Earth's surface, the atmosphere warms too. Some parts of the Earth receive direct rays from the sun all year and are always warm. Other places receive indirect rays, so the climate is colder. Warm air, which weighs less than cold air, rises. Then cool air moves in and replaces the rising warm air. This movement of air is what makes the wind blow.

Ocean Currents Map V: 1

Inland vs. Coastal Cities

Wrap Up Questions V: 1 Answer on page of your INB. Explain how the blue water and red water moved in the container in the Moving Circles lab. Why do you think they moved that way? If the water in the containers represented the ocean, how does the water in the ocean move? Recall that thermal energy moves in a predictable pattern from warmer to cooler areas. How is this concept illustrated in this model?
