Convection, Conduction,

Getting Energy
All energy on Earth
comes from the Sun,
but there are three
different ways things
can get the energy
once it is here.
Radiation heat is
transferred through space
Radiation
SOLAR -
Energy travels
from the sun in
electromagnetic waves.
These waves are absorbed
by the things on earth.
Conduction is when
heat is transferred
by direct contact or
As the
air
becomes
less
dense it
rises
2. Air is warmed by conduction
3. Cooler air
is pulled in
from other
places
CONVECTION!!!
Do you
know what
this is
called?
The atmosphere is
warmed through
convection.
4. Convection:
Rising air spreads
heat throughout the
atmosphere in
currents.
3. As
the air
becomes
less
dense it
rises
Convection
Warmer Air
Cooler Air
