Imagine you're Goldilocks, or some other
character who desperately wants to eat soup.
Now, the bears didn't want you to
come at the first place, but they left you 3 spoons.
A metal spoon, a plastic
spoon, and a wooden spoon.
This may sound like a Minecraft tools trivia, but think
again: there aren't any spoons in Minecraft.
You might be like: "Just
tell us the answer already!!!" so the answer is
the wooden spoon. Now, we're not trying
to tell you how spoons work. We're trying
to tell you about conduction rates.
Conduction rates show (and tell) how well
and fast an object heats up, so in this case
the three spoons. Now, if you chose the metal
spoon, which has the highest conduction
rate, expect some really bad burns.
They'll probably hurt more than the
bears trying to... never mind.
And then there's the plastic spoon, which
isn't eco-friendly and neither do I believe that plastic existed in 1837.
And
it might melt.  You don't want to eat that unless you're Chewbacca or something.
And then there's
the peaceful, nice, old-looking
and smooth wooden spoon, which has the lowest conduction rate.
Although it looks like it might catch on fire, although if it
does, your soup has a problem.
A big problem.
So, there you have it!
Conduction rates!
Conduction rates not only happen while cooking but also in the other parts of the world.
The most significant place is when you're at the
beach, so when the ocean meets the land.
That creates something called a sea
breeze or a land breeze,
so let's talk about that too, shall we?
Imagine you're at the beach, with the Sun shining at you and the sand searing under your feet.
So, since the land is hotter, warm air is over the land.
But since the sea is less warm than the land, there is cool air over it.
As you learned in my other video on heat, hot air rises and cold air sinks.
Since the heat and air leave the land, it lowers the pressure above it,
as it pushes the other air going
towards it out of the way.
The opposite goes for the sea;
it gets more pressure as there is more air hammering down on it.
Now, this cycle will happen over and over again,
which makes something called a convection cell.
This cycle, to be more specific a convection cell, makes the wind you know and feel.
This is called the sea breeze, as it originates, or where it started from, the sea.
Yeah, but it's not over yet!
That applies to situations when the Sun is out, and the weather itself is warm.
So what if we shoo away the Sun, and we call the Moon?
although we don't NEED it.
(EEK!)
Now, during the stage of the Sun setting, we gave both the land
AND
the sea a chance to cool down,
although they still have time after the Sun DOES set.
Now, you amy think that the sea cools off faster, but, no.
The reason why is because water has a high heat capacity.
So it's like comparing specs between a small bottle and a large bottle.
The smaller bottle takes less time to fill up and less time to drain.
The larger bottle has a higher capacity, meaning that it has a bigger space for objects,
or in this case, heat.
So it takes more time to fill up and more time to spill, or drain, or to empty, or...
Now, back to it.
The entire scenario just flipped over:
the warm air is over the sea and the cool air over the land.
This changes the process of how the wind is blown.
The warm air over the sea rises
and the cool air over the land sinks.
So the sea has less pressure above it and the land has more pressure on it.
Now the sea breeze turns into a...
you guessed it! A land breeze!
The wind, or breeze, comes from the land, so the result is called a land breeze.
Whoo!
Thanks for watching!

I wanna go to the beach again.
