Mrs. Warren’s class is learning about heat transfer. Her class observes a pot of boiling water and describes the process. The students note that as the water at the bottom heats up, it rises. The cool water at the top falls, and the cycle continues. Which best describes the process the students are observing?

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

• transformation

This illustration shows how heat can move through the atmosphere as air circulates. What causes the circulation of air?

• Air in the atmosphere is heated by the Sun and sinks to the ground.

• The ground is heated by the Sun and then heats the air, causing the air to rise.

• Air loses heat to the ground and then rises upward to obtain more energy.

• The Sun heats the clouds which forces the cooler air to move away and sink.
