24. E-200
Question: Which type of process occurs when a gas is transformed into a liquid?
Answer: condensation

25. E-300
Question: In the troposphere, what decreases as altitude increases?
Answer: temperature and pressure

26. E-400

27. E-500
Question: What is increased as a result of a decrease in seawater temperature or an increase in salinity within oceans?
Answer: seawater density

28. FINAL JEOPARDY
Question: Provide an example to explain the three forms of heat transfer; convection, conduction, and radiation.
Answer: Answers will vary. Conduction occurs when a hotter object is touched, convection is the circulation of a liquid or gases in which heat rises and cool sinks, and radiation is heat emitting in the form of rays from a heat source.
