Which type of thermal energy transfer is illustrated in the diagram show above?

• Electromagnetic waves of radiation

• Direct transfer of thermal energy by conduction

• Heat rising, cooling, and sinking by convection

• All three types of thermal transfer are illustrated

A student is drinking a cup of hot chocolate as they sit by a campfire on a chilly evening. They know that the cup of hot chocolate transfers thermal energy to the surrounding air. The heated air over their cup of hot chocolate expands and rises and is replaced by cooler, denser air. This method of energy transfer is -

• convection

• condensation

• conduction

• radiation

A student is standing with her back facing a campfire. The student notices that their back is much warmer than their chest. They know that thermal energy is being transferred from the fire and that this method of energy transfer can happen even if no air is present. This method of energy transfer is -

• convention

• condensation

• conduction

• radiation

Which picture best illustrates thermal energy transfer by conduction?

• 
• 
• 
• 

What type of heat transfer occurs when you touch a metal seat with your hand and the seat feels cold?

• Radiation

• Convection

• Conduction

• Transpiration

Which of the following energy transformations is similar to an electric pencil sharpener?

•

The Earth is made of many layers. Which layer is made up of part crust and part mantle material?

• Inner core

• Outer core

• Lithosphere
