Dear Mrs. Turbeville,
Here are the answers for the Chapter 2 Weather Factors Worksheet:
1. thermal energy
2 (in the textbook, it's #3). temperature
3. true
4. thermometer
5. The way thermometers work is that the liquid contained in the tube expands when the heat rises and contrasts when it gets cold.
6. The freezing point in Celsius is 0 degrees Celsius, and the boiling point is 100 degrees Celsius. The freezing point in Fahrenheit is 32 degrees Fahrenheit and the boiling point is 212 degrees Fahrenheit.
7. Heat can be transferred by radiation, conduction, and convection.
8. True
9. Conduction
10. Convection
11. Radiation- c.
12. Conduction-b
13. Convection-a
14. The sun is radiation, the two arrows forming a circle is a form of convection, the squiggly lines are a form of heat transfer by radiation, and below the lines are where there is heat transfer by conduction.
