The heat from a lamp allows a lizard to remain warm. This is an example of which type of heat transfer?

• radiation
• conduction
• convection
• insulation

On a hot summer day black pavement can reach 135 degrees. What would occur if an egg was placed on it?

• The pavement will conduct the heat and cook the egg.

• The egg will reflect the heat and make the pavement hotter underneath.

• The egg will absorb the heat and leave the pavement hotter underneath.

• The pavement will absorb the heat from the egg, and the egg will stay raw.

Which best describes the process of convection?

• Convection is the primary way  heat travels  through rays.
• Convection is the primary way heat travels  through metals.
• Convection is the primary way heat travels  through appliances.
• Convection is the primary way heat travels  through liquids and gasses.

What causes the circulation of air in the atmosphere?

• Air in the atmosphere is heated by the sun and sinks to the ground.
• The ground is heated by the sun and then heats the air, causing the air to rise.
• Air loses heat to the ground and then rises upward to obtain more energy.
• The sun heats the clouds which forces the cooler air to move away and sink.

Which is an example of convection?

• the heat coming from a campfire
• a spoon in a bowl of soup becoming warmer
• warmer water at the surface of a swimming pool
• a hamburger being warmed by a campfire
