• heat

• convection currents

• greenhouse gasses

Heat is transferred mostly by _______ within the troposphere.

• radiation

• conduction

• convection

• the sun

An instrument for measuring and indicating temperature.

• Barometer

• Anemometer

• Thermometer

• Modified Mercalli Scale

Hot water rises and cold water sinks. Is this:

• Convection

• Conduction

• Radiation

Hot coffee is stirred with a spoon; the spoon gets hot due to

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

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

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

"Lava lamps" contain colored liquids. These liquids form globs that rise to the top due to

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

Some cook pans have copper on the bottom to heat evenly.

Copper transfers heat to the pan by

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

In a swimming pool, water near the surface is slightly warmer. The warm water rises because of

• conduction

• convection

• radiation
