When the particles of a material lose kinetic energy, what happens to the material?
The material cools down and becomes more dense
When particles of a material gain kinetic energy, what happens to the material?
The material heats up and becomes less dense
What happens to air masses when the particles increase in kinetic energy?
The air expands and becomes less dense
What happens to air masses when the particles decrease in kinetic energy?
The air mass contracts and becomes less dense
What is conduction?
transfer of energy from one place to another by contact
What is convection?
heat transfer in a fluid in which hot fluid rises, and cold fluid sinks, settle up a cycle
What is radiation?
energy that is radiated or transmitted through space in the form of rays, waves, or
particles
