solid |
|
liquid |
|
plasma |
|
gas |

The transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas is called:
diffusion |
|
conduction |
|
radiation |
|
convection |
Convection is the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas. Examples of heat transfer by convection include water coming to a boil on a stove, ice melting, and steam from a cup of coffee.
Cirrus clouds generally occur in what kind of weather?
stormy |
|
freezing |
|
hot |
|
fair |
Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy high-altitude clouds composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets. Cirrus clouds generally occur in fair weather and point in the direction of air movement at their elevation.
Which is the proper order of Earth's atmospheric layers from the surface up to space?
thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, troposphere |
|
troposphere, stratosphere, mesosphere, thermosphere |
|
stratosphere, troposphere, mesosphere, thermosphere |
|
mesosphere, thermosphere, stratosphere, troposphere |
The troposphere is the closest layer to Earth, followed by the stratosphere, mesosphere, and finally the thermosphere which borders space.
