| A | B |
|---|
| thermometer | what is used to measure heat energy |
| barometer | what is used to measure air pressure |
| anemometer | what is used to measure wind speed |
| psychrometer | what is used to measure moisture |
| convection | when heat is transferred by the circulation of molecules |
| conduction | when heat is transferred by the direct contact of molecules/objects |
| radiation | where heat (energy) is transferred through space and then absorbed |
| greenhouse effect | the heating of the earth where the radiant energy heats the earth and is then trapped and not able to be reflected back into the atmosphere, making the atmosphere hotter |
| sun's rays are strongest | at the equator or where sun is directly overhead and not at an angle |
| freezing | 0 degrees celsius or 31 degrees fahrenheit |
| boiling | 100 degrees celsius or 212 degrees fahrenheit |
| body temperature | 37 degrees celsius or 98 degrees fahrenheit |
| mercury & aneroid | two types of barometer |
| low pressure | usually means rainy/snowy weather |
| high pressure | usually means fair weather |
