Presentation Transcript

  1. Aim: How does the atmosphere make the different types of precipitation? Do Now: - List as many different types of precipitation that the atmosphere creates

  2. I. Vocabulary • Precipitation: • any form of water that falls from a cloud. • changes due to different temperatures. - rain - hail - snow -sleet How could I make this rain drop into a snowflake?

  3. b) Heat – - transfer of energy from one object to another. - heat flows from High Energy to Low Energy. HIGH ENERGY LOW ENERGY

  4. - transfers of energy (heat) cause phase changes Gains Energy Looses Energy • Melting Solid  Liquid • Sublimation Solid  Gas * Evaporation Liquid  Gas * Condensation Gas  Liquid • Deposition Gas  Solid • Freezing Liquid Solid

  5. c) Specific heat: the exact amount of heat (energy) need to raise the temperature of a substance by 10C. • Which is easier to heat up with a match (small amount of energy)? • Liquid Water • Lead pipe Cover ESRT

  6. d) Latent (“hidden”) Heat: - Heat used to change the state of matter. - no change in temperature occurs because the energy is used to break molecular bonds. Latent Heat No Temperature Change!!

  7. NO CHANGE IN TEMPERATURE DURING A PHASE CHANGE!!

  8. II. ESRT Cover Shows the amount of energy either GAINED or RELEASED during the change in matter. ** Water is most dense at 3.980C (40C) in the - liquid phase -

  9. Closure: • Please work to complete the handout on phase changes and states of matter from the back table (top bin)
