Presentation on theme: "What processes heat the atmosphere?"— Presentation transcript:

1 What processes heat the atmosphere?
What is radiation? What is conduction? What is convection?

2 Radiation Conduction Convection
1. What processes heat the atmosphere? Radiation Conduction Convection

3 2. What is Radiation? Transfer of heat energy as waves -
Some radiation energy is reflected and some is absorbed

4 3. What is Conduction? Transfer of heat energy by direct contact
- air molecules touch a warm surface - heat moves from warm to cold

5 4. What is Convection? Transfer of heat energy by the circulation of a gas or liquid warm air rises because it is less dense - cold air sinks because it is more dense *Moves the most heat energy in the atmosphere.
