What happens when thermal energy is transferred from a warmer object to a cooler object?
thermal equilibrium
Which kind of energy is transferred between molecules of touching substances during conduction?
Vibrational energy. The vibration of one molecule is transferred to adjacent molecules as it "hits" them. The vibration of molecules is otherwise known as heat or thermal energy.
What happens to thermal energy if the molicules speed up?
Thermal energy increases when molecules speed up.
How is most thermal energy in the atmosphere transfered?
From the surface, it would be via convection currents
What does it mean for heat to be transferred by thermal conduction?
Energy is transferred when one molecule collides with another.
What is the thermal energy transferred by moving molecules in a fluid called?
Convection

What happens to the molecules in a substance when thermal energy is removed?
It's vibrates and then melts
What happens as the thermal energy is transferred from the core to the mantle?
how can something as massive as the pacific plate move

In an air conditioner how is thermal energy transferred?
Thermal energy is transferred from areas of higher temperatures to areas with lower temperatures.
When you add thermal energy to a system what will happens to the kinetic energy of the molecules within the system?
if you add a thermal energy to a system then it will happens nothing because u dont no anything
What is it called when thermal energy is transferred?
kinetic energy
