Heat and Energy Production
Across
- 6. a device that absorbs sunlight and converts it directly into electricity
- 7. air that rises
- 8. air that has lower pressure than cold air
- 9. When liquids and gasses flow heat transfer happens when warmer less dense particles rise and cooled more dense particles sink
- 12. power derived from natural sources that replenish naturally over a short period of time
- 13. heat- heat that is transferred by radiation is called thermal radiation or
- 14. non-renewable energy sources—primarily coal, oil (petroleum), and natural gas
Down
- 1. humans can only see wavelengths that fall within visible light spectrum
- 2. the radiant light and heat from the sun
- 3. Heat transfers when the objects come into direct contact with other things
- 4. Heat transferred through space in the form of waves.
- 5. A measure of how much light is reflected back from an object
- 10. atmospheric gases that trap heat and warm the planet
