Transfer of Energy
• Conduction is the transfer of heat energy through molecular collisions.
• Convection is the transfer of heat energy through currents formed due to density differences.
• Radiation is the transfer of electromagnetic energy through space. Radiation requires no medium. (matter)

Conduction
• Conduction can occur with solids, liquids, or gases.
• Contact must be made to conduct heat.
![Page 8: Energy Processes in Earth Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814932550346895db67633/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Convection
• Convection is due to density differences, it creates currents.
• Convection is the driving force behind global winds, ocean currents, and plate tectonics.
• A convection box can be used to show convection.

Radiation
• Electromagnetic radiation radiates through space.
• Electromagnetic radiation travels at the speed of light.
• Light is part of the visible spectrum of the electromagnetic spectrum.
![Page 10: Energy Processes in Earth Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814932550346895db67633/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Electromagnetic Spectrum
![Page 11: Energy Processes in Earth Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814932550346895db67633/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Radiation
• Electromagnetic radiation has both wave properties and particle properties.
• We describe light in a term called a photon.
• Electromagnetic waves are a type of wave called a transverse wave.
![Page 12: Energy Processes in Earth Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814932550346895db67633/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Waves
![Page 13: Energy Processes in Earth Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814932550346895db67633/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Waves
• Wavelength (distance between two successive crests)
• Crest (high point of wave)
• Trough (low point of wave)
![Page 14: Energy Processes in Earth Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814932550346895db67633/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Waves
• Amplitude (height of the wave in the center of the crest)
• Frequency (how often a wave passes per unit time)
• Wave Velocity (the speed and direction of the wave)
![Page 15: Energy Processes in Earth Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814932550346895db67633/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Electromagnetic Energy’s Interactions with Matter
• Reflection (bounces off)
• Refraction (bends)
• Absorption (taken in)
• Scattering (bounces and bends)
• Transmission (passes through)
![Page 16: Energy Processes in Earth Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814932550346895db67633/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Insolation
• Insolation (incoming solar radiation) can be absorbed by the Earth.
• Absorption by Earth materials– Color and texture affect absorption.– Dark colors and rough surfaces absorb the
best.
![Page 17: Energy Processes in Earth Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814932550346895db67633/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Terrestrial Radiation
• Terrestrial radiation is the radiation given off by the Earth when it heats up after absorbing insolation.
• When energy is absorbed it is always reradiated at a longer wavelength because longer wavelengths contain less energy.
![Page 18: Energy Processes in Earth Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814932550346895db67633/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Terrestrial Radiation
• Earth materials absorb shorter wavelength visible light and emit longer wavelength infrared radiation.
• Infrared radiation (IR) is heat energy.
![Page 19: Energy Processes in Earth Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814932550346895db67633/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Radiation rule
• Rule: A good absorber is a good radiator.
![Page 20: Energy Processes in Earth Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814932550346895db67633/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Terrestrial Radiation
• Specific Heat: The lower the specific heat the better the absorption.
• Granite and Basalt have low specific heats and therefore heat up quickly and cool down quickly.
• Water has the highest specific heat of Earth materials so it is the poorest absorber and therefore heats up and cools down the slowest.
![Page 21: Energy Processes in Earth Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814932550346895db67633/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Greenhouse Effect
• Certain materials (glass) allow the shorter wavelength (visible light) to pass through them (transparent) but do not allow longer wavelengths (infrared) to pass through (opaque) and therefore trap longer wavelength (infrared) radiation and cause the temperatures inside the glass to rise.
![Page 22: Energy Processes in Earth Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814932550346895db67633/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Greenhouse Effect
• Certain gases in the Earth’s atmosphere are greenhouse gases, among them are carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor.
• If concentrations of these gases get too high, global warming could ensue.
• Global Warming would have drastic effects upon the Earth's climate.
• The planet Venus has these conditions.

First Law of ThermodynamicsConservation of Energy
• Energy is neither created nor destroyed but is always conserved and transformed from one kind to another.
• Energy only changes form.
• You cannot get something from nothing.
• Energy in = energy out
![Page 24: Energy Processes in Earth Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814932550346895db67633/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Second Law of Thermodynamics
• Energy always goes from a more usable form (high quality) to a less usable form (low quality).
• Heat always travels from hot to cold.
• All systems proceed to maximum entropy (randomness).
![Page 25: Energy Processes in Earth Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814932550346895db67633/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Kinetic Energy
• Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
• KE = ½ mv2 where m is mass and v is velocity.
![Page 26: Energy Processes in Earth Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814932550346895db67633/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Potential Energy
• Potential energy is stored energy.
• PE = m x g x h where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.
![Page 27: Energy Processes in Earth Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814932550346895db67633/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Heat and Temperature
• They are not the same.
• Temperature is average kinetic energy of the molecules in a sample of matter.
• Heat is the total internal energy of a sample of matter.
![Page 28: Energy Processes in Earth Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814932550346895db67633/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Temperature
• There are three temperature scales:
• Fahrenheit
• Celsius
• Kelvin
• To convert use the Earth Science Reference Tables or use a formula.

Temperature Scales
![Page 30: Energy Processes in Earth Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814932550346895db67633/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Heat
• Heat is a measure of total internal energy.
• Heat is measured in calories.
• Q = m cp DT
• Where Q is heat energy in joules, m is mass cp is specific heat, and DT is the
change in Temperature.

Specific Heats
![Page 32: Energy Processes in Earth Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814932550346895db67633/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Sample Heat Problem
• How many calories are absorbed when 50.0 g of water are heated from 30o C to 60o C?
• Solution:
• Q = m cp DT
• Q = (50.0 g) (4.18 J/g oC)(30 oC)
• Q = 6270 J or 6.270 kcal
![Page 33: Energy Processes in Earth Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814932550346895db67633/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Changes of Phase
• Solid to liquid = melting
• Liquid to solid = solidification
• Liquid to gas = vaporization (evaporation)
• Gas to liquid = condensation
• Solid to gas = sublimation
• There is no change in temperature during a phase change. Only latent heat may be added or released.
![Page 34: Energy Processes in Earth Science](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56814932550346895db67633/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Latent Heat of Fusion
• The heat needed to convert a mass from solid to liquid is the latent heat of fusion.
• Heat of fusion for water is 334 J/g. (ESRT)

Heating Curve of Water
• The heating of a solid results in a liquid. • The heating of a liquid results in a gas.• The flat part of the curve represents a
phase change.• Phase changes during are not
accompanied by temperature changes.• Reading the curve in reverse is a
cooling curve.
