Q

What causes a sea breeze?

A

A sea breeze is caused by the temperature difference between land and water, where cooler air over the sea moves towards the warmer land.

Q

What causes a land breeze?

A

A land breeze occurs when the land cools faster than the sea, causing cooler air to move from the land to the sea.

Q

Multiple choice: Which of the following is NOT a method of heat transfer? A) Conduction B) Convection C) Diffusion D) Radiation

17
Q

What is the role of density in convection?

A

Density differences cause fluid movement; warmer, less dense fluid rises while cooler, denser fluid sinks.

18
Q

True or False: Convection can occur in solids.

19
Q

What type of heat transfer occurs in a vacuum?

20
Q

What is the primary factor that affects the rate of conduction?

A

The material’s thermal conductivity.

21
Q

Fill in the blank: ________ is an example of radiation heat transfer.

A

The heat from the Sun

22
Q

What is the difference between natural and forced convection?

A

Natural convection occurs due to density differences, while forced convection is caused by external forces like fans or pumps.

23
Q

True or False: Insulation materials are designed to be good conductors.

24
Q

What happens to air pressure during a sea breeze?

A

Air pressure over the land decreases as it heats up, while air pressure over the sea remains relatively higher.

25
What is thermal conductivity?
Thermal conductivity is a measure of a material's ability to conduct heat.
26
Multiple choice: Which material is a poor conductor of heat? A) Wood B) Aluminum C) Silver D) Copper
A) Wood
27
What is the main source of energy for radiation?
The Sun
28
Fill in the blank: ________ is the process by which heat is transferred through the movement of air.
Convection
29
What is the effect of temperature on conduction?
Higher temperatures generally increase the rate of conduction.
30
True or False: All materials can conduct heat.
True
31
What is the term for the cooling effect experienced at night due to land breezes?
Land breeze effect
