Kinetic Molecular Theory Explains the Transfer of Thermal Energy
With the winter upon us, you feel the bite of the cold winter rain. As the summer approaches, you begin to embrace the warmth of the sunlight. Within both of these scenarios there is a transfer of thermal energy. There is also a transfer of thermal energy behind the calm summer breeze and the violent tornado.
We will be examining how thermal energy is transferred. In this section of the unit we will be reviewing conduction, convection, and radiation. Furthermore, how we experience thermal energy in our every-day lives and their affects on our atmosphere.
