On a hot day, you may see an animal spread out on the ground on their belly to cool off. Which method of energy transfer are they most utilizing to cool off?

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

Conduction, convection, and radiation affect weather on Earth. Explain how this occurs by using your knowledge of thermal energy transfer to complete the statements.

The sun transfers energy to Earth’s surface by ​ (a)   . Air touching Earth’s surface will transfer energy to or from Earth’s surface by ​ (b)   . The air then moves due to changes in density. This movement of air transfers thermal energy through the atmosphere by ​ (c)   .The movement of the air can cause changes in weather.
