- 16. a substance, body, or system that conducts electricity, heat, etc.
- 19. quantity of matter
- 21. of conservation of energy the law that states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed but can be changed from one form to another
- 23. the process by which masses of relatively warm air are raised into the atmosphere, often cooling and forming clouds, which compensatory downward movements of cooler air
