Conduction can happen within one object. Convection is the movement of thermal energy by liquids or gases. Convection in the oceans and atmosphere helps move thermal energy around Earth and influences weather and climate. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy by electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves can carry energy through places with or without any matter. The sun is the main source of electromagnetic energy on Earth. Light is used by producers to make food. Heating and cooling can cause changes in the properties of Explain how heating and materials, but not all materials respond the same way to differing cooling affect some materials temperatures. 5.P.3.2 and how this relates to their Water can turn into boiling water OR ice… purpose and practical Many kinds of changes occur faster at higher temperatures. applications.

Clouds & Fog Wind “Weather changes day to day, but climate mostly stays the same.” “If you’re on a mountain, it would be easier to enjoy the weather than to CLIMATE (climb it).” ;) – Ben Goodridge, Class of 2021 As elevation increases, the higher the air pressure, and the cooler it gets (temperature drops). It also gets more windy because convection causes the cool air to drop and warm air to rise. Air is lighter the higher it is and so the cool air falls much more quickly. Heat radiates from the sun which causes water to evaporate from bodies of water into the clouds. When water collects in the sky, clouds are formed (condensation).
