• False

Convection is a process in which electromagnetic waves transfer thermal energy.

• True

• False

Conduction, convection, and radiation involve the transfer of

• heat

• matter

• potential energy

_________ occurs when two objects that are in contact with each other reach the same temperature.

• convection

• conduction

• thermal equilibrium

Radiation can transfer thermal energy from the Sun to Earth because it does not require matter.
