I DO GUIDED NOTES

RADIATION

▪ Radiation: Electromagnetic

Waves from the Sun travel
through our atmosphere and hit
the surface (land, water)

CONDUCTION

CONDUCTION: The transfer
of heat energy by two or
more objects in contact with each other.
▪The hot land warms the air it touches above it
▪The warm water warms the air it touches above it.

CONVECTION

Convection: The transfer of energy through the movement of

hot or cool fluids (air and water).

▪Hot air rises - it is less dense - the molecules are further apart - low pressure.

▪Cool air sinks - it is more dense - the molecules are closer together - high pressure.

▪Differences in temperature and air
pressure cause wind - air moves from
high pressure to low pressure.

SEA BREEZE

▪During the day, the land is HOTTER than the ocean.

▪A breeze moves from the cool air over water (HIGH pressure) to the warm air over land (LOW pressure).

LAND BREEZE

▪At night, the ocean is WARMER than the land.
▪A breeze moves from the cool air over land (HIGH pressure) to the warm air over the ocean (LOW pressure).

SPECIFIC HEAT

▪How quickly a substance absorbs and gives off heat.

▪Land absorbs/releases heat very quickly.

▪Water absorbs/releases heat very slowly.
