The Sun’s energy travels through space to reach Earth. This energy supplies light and heat for the planet. Heat travels in several ways through Earth’s air, water, and land. Which of the following methods of heat transfer is an example of convection?

Warm air rises and displaces cooler air

Heat moves from warned asphalt into the air

Heat moves from the top layer of soil to the lower layers

Rays of sunlight reach Earth’s surface

Convection currents are one way that thermal energy can be transferred. In which of the following can a convection current occur?

In liquids and gases but not in solids

In gases but not in liquids or solids

In liquids but not in solids or gases

In liquids, solids, and in gases

The air in a room is cool. The fire is warming the air near the fireplace, and the fan is blowing the warm air across the room. As the warm air moves from one side of the room to the other, does the amount of thermal energy at the other side of the room increase?

Yes, because the warm air near the fire had more thermal energy than the colder air that was across the room

no, because air cannot carry thermal energy as it moves

No, because air in one place in the room has the same amount of thermal energy as an equal amount of air anywhere else in the room

It depends on how warm the air is because only very warm air can carry thermal energy as it moves

The heater in the room is continuously warming the air around it so that the air near the heater is much warmer than the air in the rest of the room.

It rises toward the ceiling, but it does not stay there. It moves toward the walls before it eventually sinks back down to the floor.

It rises toward the ceiling and stays there.

It rises toward the ceiling, but it does not stay there or move toward the walls. Instead, it sinks back down to the floor.

It moves away from the heater in all directions until it fills the room.

A jar of water is placed over a flame and the flame warms the water at the bottom of the jar. What happens to the water at the bottom of the jar before it boils?

As the water at the bottom of the jar becomes a little warmer than the water around it, the warmer water will start to rise.

The water at the bottom of the jar will get warmer, but it will not rise.

All of the water in the jar will get warmer at the same time, so there is no movement of the water in the jar.
