-Determine the type of heat transfer that is going on in the following situations.
Options: radiation, conduction, or convection
1.
You burn your hand on a hot light bulb. _______________________________________
2.
An air current allows heat to be transferred from the equator to the North Pole.
___________________________________
3.
A cloud is formed when hot air rises and then cools. ______________________________
4.
The sun’s energy reaches the surface of Mercury ________________________________
5.
The air directly above the fire felt warm. _______________________________________
6.
Copper was a better conductor than the other metals. ___________________________________________
7.
Hot air rises, cold air sinks. ___________________________________________
8.
The seat was very warm when I sat down in it. _________________________________
9.
The ice melted as it was placed on the metal plate. _____________________________
10.
Air in the atmosphere continuously moves. At the equator air rises and at the poles it sinks.
