Which of the following is an example of conduction?

• Solar energy warming a room.

• Heat rising from the coils of a stove.

• Hot air drying a wet towel.

• Heat moving from a clothes iron to a shirt.

Thermal energy transfer by conduction is accomplished when heat moves from a warmer object to a cooler one by

• moving across a solid barrier.

• being carried in a fluid, like air or water.

• coming in direct physical contact with it.

• traveling through empty space.

• Sample 2 to Sample 4

• Sample 1 to Sample 2

• Sample 3 to Sample 4

• Sample 1 to Sample 3
