Thermal Transfer: Conduction, Convection, and Radiation

While on vacation, Carine rides in a hot-air balloon. To make the balloon rise, the pilot turns on a flame to warm the air inside the balloon. How does the air change?

• The temperature of the air decreases.

• The air particles move closer together.

• The motion of the air particles increases.

• The air changes to a different state of matter.
