TYPES OF HEAT TRANSFER!

Conduction: the transfer of
heat by direct contact

Convection: the transfer of
heat through the circular
movement of liquids and
gases

Radiation: the transfer of
heat through
electromagnetic waves

IDENTIFY THE TYPE OF HEAT TRANSFER!

Read through each
scenario and decide if it
is describing convection,
conduction, or radiation.

• Dark colors absorb light and heat, meaning that they get hot faster

• Water changes temperatures very slowly, meaning it takes a long time to heat up and a long time to cool down.

​

​Unequal heating - Local Winds

• ​During the DAY, land heats up faster (hot = low air pressure)

• Cooler air above the ocean has higher pressure and wants to move to the land.

• Heat rises creating convection

Sea Breeze

• ​At NIGHT, land cools down faster (cold = high air pressure)

• Cool land air wants to go to move to the lower pressure at sea

• Heat rises and creates a convection current

Land Breeze

• The Earth is round and on a tilt, making the suns rays hit our planet at many different angles

• Global winds across the Earth are caused by this uneven heating
