What happens when ice cubes melt in a glass?
Heat travels from the ice to the warmer water.
No energy is transferred.
Heat is transferred from the warmer water to the ice cubes.
The water warms up due to the humidity
Answer explanation
When ice cubes are placed in warmer water, heat transfers from the water to the ice, causing it to melt. This process cools the water slightly while the ice absorbs the heat, leading to the correct answer.

Warm air rises and the cool air sinks demonstrates this type of heat transfer.
conduction
convection
radiation
Insolation
Answer explanation
Warm air rises and cool air sinks due to differences in temperature and density, illustrating convection. This process involves the movement of fluid (air) and is distinct from conduction and radiation.

Which of the following is an example of convection?
A metal spoon getting hot in a cup of hot tea
The sun warming your face
Warm air rising and cool air sinking
A microwave heating food
Answer explanation
Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids. Warm air rises because it is less dense, while cool air sinks, creating a convection current. This is exemplified by warm air rising and cool air sinking.

How does the sun transfer heat to the Earth?
Conduction
Convection
Radiation
Insulation
Answer explanation
The sun transfers heat to the Earth primarily through radiation. Unlike conduction and convection, which require a medium, radiation allows heat to travel through the vacuum of space in the form of electromagnetic waves.
