Heat Transfer Review Game

Front

What do convection cells in the mantle demonstrate?

Back

Convection cells demonstrate the movement of magma due to heat transfer within the Earth's mantle.

Front

How is heat energy transferred to a solar oven?

Back

Heat energy is transferred to a solar oven primarily through radiation.

Front

What is conduction in terms of heat transfer?

Back

Conduction is the process where heat travels from the hotter object to the cooler object through direct contact.

Front

Give an example of heat transfer by conduction.

Back

A metal rod heating up when placed in a fire is an example of heat transfer by conduction.

Front

What is radiation in the context of heat transfer?

Back

Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through electromagnetic waves, without the need for a medium.

Front

What happens to warm air in a room?

Back

Warm air rises to the ceiling due to convection, as it is less dense than cooler air.

Front

What is the primary method of heat transfer in solids?

Back

The primary method of heat transfer in solids is conduction.

Front

What is an example of heat transfer by convection?

Back

Warm air rising and cool air sinking in a room is an example of heat transfer by convection.

Front

What is the difference between conduction and convection?

Back

Conduction is heat transfer through direct contact, while convection is heat transfer through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases).

Front

What is an example of radiation?

Back

Sunlight warming your skin is an example of radiation.
