Heat Transfer

List what they have

in common

Temperature- a measure of the amount of

kinetic energy in a substance

Heat- a transfer of energy between two objects due to a difference in temperature Heat always moves from hot to cold

Temperature vs. Heat

Conduction Convection Radiation

3 Ways Heat can be Transferred

The transfer of heat (energy) from one

substance to another substance that is touching it It is most effective in solids, but can happen in liquids

Fun fact: Have you ever noticed that metals tend to feel cold?

Believe it or not, they are not colder! They only feel colder because they conduct heat away from your hand. You perceive the heat that is leaving your hand as cold

Conduction

The transfer of heat (energy) by the

movement of matter. Happens mostly in gas and liquids This happens with currents Colder matter (more dense) sinks below warmer

matter and pushed warmer matter up Have you ever heard of the saying “warm air

rises” Why does colder matter sink? (hint: use

kinetic energy, molecules, and density)

Convection

Electromagnetic waves directly transport

energy through space Done without the help of fluids or solids Travel in waves

Why you use a hot pad when touching a metal pot that has been on the stove


This causes an entire pot of hot what to boil


A rain shadow is a result of this type of heat transfer.


The sun heats the surface of the Earth through this


Melting ice in your hand


A microwave cooks food with this


Land and sea breezes are caused by this. (Actually all winds are)


X-Rays


This is why a metal spoon gets warm when placed in a hot drink


This causes condensation on the outside of an ice cold drink


Typically, thunderstorms with large cumulonimbus clouds only occur in warmer months. That is because they are formed by….


Radio waves are an example of…


This causes plate tectonics (movement of plates on Earth’s surface)


Your cellphone creates/receives this to communicate to other devices


This causes trade winds, westerlies, and easterlies that affect major weather patterns. For example: The ITCZ near

the equator most often has clouds and rain. This is also where rainforests are.
