B Radiation
C Convection
A Conduction
1. Radiation
Why? The Sun's heat travels through space as electromagnetic waves to reach us.
2. Conduction
Why? Your hand touches the hot stove directly, transferring heat through direct contact.
3. Convection
Why? Hot air rises from the fire and circulates around your hands, transferring heat by the movement of a gas.
4. Conduction
Why? The spoon touches the hot pot, transferring heat through direct contact from the pot to the spoon.
5. Convection
Why? The heated water in the pot moves, carrying heat and causing the macaroni to rise and fall as it cooks.
6. Radiation
Why? The heat lamp emits infrared radiation that travels through the air to warm the snake without direct contact.
7. Convection
Why? This is the definition of convection: heat transfer by the movement of warmed matter like liquids or gases.
8. Convection
Why? Warm air rises from floor vents, circulating throughout the room to heat it evenly.
