Energy transfer in the Atmosphere
Convection
it is the transfer of thermal energy by the movement of particles within matter
RADATION
TRANSFER OF ENERGY BY ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES
VISBLE LIGHT: IT IS THE LIGHT THAT WE CAN SEE
ULTRAIOLET LIGHT: has short wavelengths and can break chemical bonds
Excess exposure to UV light will burn human skin and can cause skin cancer
Infrared radiation: has longer wavelengths
Greenhouse effect
trap the heat
water vapor
carbon dioxide
methane
conduction
Is the transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles of matter
Particles must be close enough to touch to transfer energy by conduction
