B. Radiation
C. Convection
A. Conduction
1. Radiation
a. Why? The sun's heat travels through space as infrared waves, which is radiation.
2. Conduction
a. Why? Heat transfers directly from the hot stove to your hand through solid contact.
3. Convection
a. Why? Heated air rises above the fire, carrying heat upward to your hands.
4. Conduction
a. Why? Heat transferred from the hot pot to the spoon through direct contact between solids.
5. Convection
a. Why? Hot water rises and cooler water sinks in the pot, causing the macaroni to move up and down.
6. Radiation
a. Why? The heat lamp emits infrared waves that travel through the air to warm the snake without direct contact.
7. Convection
a. Why? This describes the movement of heated matter (gas or liquid), which is the definition of convection.
