Earth Science Q2

On Earth this is different than on the moon

Which is an example of kinetic energy?

A place where electricity is generated

This is always the same regardless of gravity

The transfer of heat energy through space from the sun comes in the form of

An upward lifting force that acts on an object when it pushes aside a fluid

Water on the Earth's surface in places like oceans, lakes, rivers, and reservoirs

This is always the same no matter how much material you have.

A measuring tool that is used to measure volume

Which is an example of heat moving from a warmer object to a cooler object?

What happens to potential (height) energy as something moves down the hill?

Saucepans are made of metal so they heat up quickly. This takes advantage of the process of

Transfer of heat energy through the motion of liquids and gases

Motion energy

A measure of the speed of an individual atom or of the average speed of a sample containing lots of atoms

Heat transfer that involves energy waves and no direct contact or movement by atoms

The layer of gases that surrounds earth

Transfer of heat by direct contact of atoms and molecules

Stored energy

An Earth system that includes all the water on the planet
