1.
Fill in the missing information below for the cause/effect chart. USE YOUR OWN WORDS!!!!
Cause
Effect
Wind
In warmer areas, the air is less dense and it rises.
In cooler areas, the air is more dense and it sinks.
2. Fill in the missing information from the chart below. You may write, or draw a specific example; however, it
must be DIFFERENT than the ones from your notes.
Type of Heat Transfer
Definition
Can travel through…
(solid, liquid, gas, empty space)
Specific Example
Radiation
Conduction
Convection
3. Describe how convection currents move heat through the ocean. (You MUST use the following words: equator,
warm water, cool water, direct sunlight, indirect sunlight, rising, sinking, more dense, less dense)
4. Which surface heats up faster, land or water? Explain why.
5. Explain why a city on the coast would be warmer in the winter than a city that is further inland.
6. In the spaces below, draw a picture and explain how the three types of heat transfer help move heat in our

7. The following chart should help you explain high and low pressure. Use the boxes below, to fill in the missing
information.
Air Temperature
Air Density
Air is…
So this creates…
Warmer Air
Cooler Air
Rising
Molecules spread
out further, making it
less dense
High Pressure
Low Pressure
Sinking
Molecules are
packed tighter
together making it
denser
