If you’ve ever been to the beach, you know how windy it gets there! What causes more wind at the beach than neighboring areas that are further inland? A. The water is warmer than the land, so convection in the water occurs. B. The water and the land receive different amounts of sunlight, so convection in the air occurs. C. The lack of trees results in more wind flow. D. The water and land heat unevenly, causing convection in the air.

Answer:

3. Density is defined as the amount of "mass" per unit of "volume".

4. Density is important in convection currents which help explain the transfer of "heat" through the movement of liquids and gases.

6. The "temperature" drives convection within the Earth’s oceans and atmosphere.

7. Heat rises and cool falls causing "air" and ocean currents.

8. Hurricanes originate over "warm", tropical oceans.

9. Hurricanes can also be called "typhoons".

10. Hurricanes can also be called "cyclones".

11. When hurricanes move onto land or cool waters they "lose" their source of heat energy and weaken or die.

12. Stored energy or energy of position is called "potential" energy.

13. Energy of motion is called "kinetic" energy.

14. Energy is constantly "transformed" from one form to another.

15. If you’ve ever been to the beach, you know how windy it gets there! What causes more wind at the beach than neighboring areas that are further inland? D. The water and land heat unevenly, causing convection in the air.
