Heat Transfer on Earth

Anthony and Madison are making a poster to show how heat can be transferred by conduction. Which of the following is the best example of conduction for their poster?

• The heat of the sun warming a lake

• Warm and cold water flowing in a bathtub

• A steak being heated when it touches a hot pan

• Warm air rising and cold air sinking on a prairie

Convection is the type of heat transfer that occurs in which of the following?

• Empty space

• Solid materials

• Liquids and gasses

• Objects in contact

Which of the following is an example of heat transfer by conduction?

• A shirt warmed when it touches a hot iron

• Warm and cold water circulating in the ocean

• Sunlight warming a room early in the morning

• Hot air rising and cold air sinking on a beach

A chair is several feet from a fireplace. The side of the chair facing the fireplace gets warm due to

• conduction

• convection

• radiation
