Ability to do work

Energy is the driving force for much of what we study in Earth Science

We get most of our energy from the Sun


This energy is distributed from areas of high potential to areas of low potential.

Work in groups of 2 We will pour the boiling water for you.


Must complete all 20 points of data. The two cups should have equal volumes of water

1) Heat energy transfer from molecules colliding into other molecules 2) Conduction occurs best in solids

Solids usually represent the state of matter where the molecules are most closely packed A poor conductor of heat energy would be substances that have molecules spread far apart

PREDICT

EXPLAIN

1. Heat energy transfer through liquids and gases by moving currents 2. Caused by density differences in the liquid or gas

1. Hot liquid and air rises. 2. Cold liquid and air sinks.

By which process is heat energy transferred when molecules within a substance collide?

Conduction is the transfer of heat energy by (1) density differences (2) molecular contact (3) electromagnetic waves (4) movement through a vacuum

A piece of a plant in a classroom fish tank moved upward and across the tank, away from the water heater. When the plant reached the other side of the tank, it sank before moving back toward the heater. What type of energy transfer does this movement represent?

Water is being heated in a beaker as shown below Draw the most probable movement of water in the beaker due to heating

Energy transferred across empty space in the form of transverse waves Sunlight and starlight reach Earth by radiation No molecules needed

Hotter objects give off more short wavelength energy


Ex. ultraviolet, visible light
Cooler objects give off more long wavelength energy

Ex. infrared

1. Dark & rough surfaces

2. Low specific heat materials

Light colored & smooth surfaces

The amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance 1C


Liquid water has the highest specific heat - It takes the longest to heat and cool

Substances with LOW specific heat values heat and cool faster

Specific heat is the resistance a material presents to heating up or cooling off.

PREDICT

EXPLAIN

According to the graph below, what wavelength of energy does the Earth receive in the greatest intensity?

93% of the incoming ultraviolet radiation never reaches the Earths surface.

Our atmosphere lets in short wave visible light from the Sun, but traps re-radiated longer wave infrared energy from the Earth

The Greenhouse Effect.

Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance.

Cold Hot

Molecules in every material are in constant motion (kinetic energy)


The greater the kinetic energy, the higher the temperature
At absolute zero, all motion stops.

All objects above absolute zero radiate electromagnetic energy Hotter objects give off more energy than cooler objects Hotter objects radiate shorter wavelengths than cooler objects Heat energy flows from high temperature heat source to a low temperature heat sink Good absorbers of energy are good radiators of energy (includes dark, rough, non-water surfaces, and substances with a low specific heat)
