Concept 3.2 Four emergent properties of water contribute to Earth’s…

- - - -  Kinetic energy is the energy of motion
      -  The kinetic energy associated with random motion of atoms or molecules is called thermal energy
      -  Temperature is a measure of energy that represents the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a body of matter
      -  Thermal energy in transfer from one body of
      - matter to another is defined as heat
    - - A calorie (cal) is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 g of water by 1°C
      - The “calories” on food packages are actually kilocalories (kcal), where 1 kcal = 1,000 cal
      - The joule (J) is another unit of energy where 1 J = 0.239 cal, or 1 cal = 4.184 J
