  1. 3 Ways of Heat Transfer Convection Conduction Radiation

  2. Conduction • Conduction--transfer of heat between atoms as they collide within a substance • 2 objects touching

  3. Convection • Convection is the movement of matter due to differences in density that are caused by temperature • Important in weather, plate tectonics, and ocean currents

  4. Radiation • Radiation is the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves, such as visible light and infrared waves • Key form = sunlight

  5. Phases of Matter • There are 3 main phases of matter: • Solid, Liquid, and Gas (a 4th is sometimes included—plasma) • Each phase requires a certain amount of kinetic energy

  6. Solids • Require the least amount of energy • Very low particle movement • Usually associated with low temperatures • When solids gain enough energy they change through a process called MELTING

  7. Liquids • More energy than solids, less than gases • Take the shape of their container because they have more freedom to move than solids • Liquids can lose energy to become solid through a process called FREEZING • Liquids can also gain energy to become gases through a process called EVAPORATION

  8. Gases • Have the most energy of the 3 phases • Particles move around very freely • Usually associated with high temperatures • If gases lose energy (temperature), they can change back to a liquid through a process called CONDENSATION
