Most of the world uses this temperature scale

1

A one-degree change in temperature on the Celsius temperature scale is equal to a one-unit temperature change on the_______   temperature scale.

1

A kite rises high above a hot sandy beach. This is an example of _______ heat transfer.

1

Even though the water in a filled bathtub may be at the same temperature as water in a teacup, the water in the bathtub has more_______   because it contains a greater number of water molecules.

1

At absolute zero, the particles in an object have no kinetic energy.

1

The more particles an object has at a given temperature, the more thermal energy it has.
