Across
- 4. - The transfer of thermal energy from a hotter object to a cooler one.
- 5. - Heat transfer through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases) where warmer, less dense areas rise and cooler, denser areas sink.
- 7. - The transfer of heat through direct contact between particles, primarily in solids.
- 8. - The state in which two objects in thermal contact no longer transfer heat between them, reaching the same temperature.
- 13. - Energy of particles in motion; relates to temperature as it affects particle speed.
- 14. - A material that easily allows heat transfer through conduction (e.g., metals).
- 15. - The temperature at which a liquid changes to a gas, with heat absorption.
- 16. - The circulating flow of a fluid resulting from temperature-induced density changes.
Down
- 1. - The process by which a liquid absorbs heat from its surroundings to change into a gas, resulting in a cooling effect.
- 2. - The transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, such as infrared radiation, which does not require a medium.
- 3. - A measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance.
- 6. Energy - Energy possessed by an object due to the motion of its particles, also referred to as internal energy.
- 9. - A type of electromagnetic radiation that carries heat energy, part of the radiation emitted by hot objects.
- 10. - The temperature at which a solid changes to a liquid, absorbing heat.
- 11. - The temperature at which a liquid changes to a solid, releasing heat.
- 12. - A material that resists heat transfer (e.g., wood, rubber).
