When energy from the sun reaches the air above land, the air warms and rises. Along a coastline, cooler air above the ocean flows toward the land to replace this rising air.

Which of the following best describe these processes?

• Conduction and convection

• Radiation and convection

• Conduction, convection, and radiation

• Radiation and conduction

Vivian placed an ice cube in a tray of warm water. The following picture shows her investigation. Which statement describes the energy transfer that happens in Vivian’s investigation?

• Energy in the form of heat is transferred from the ice cube to the water by radiation.

• Energy in the form of heat is transferred from the water to the ice cube by radiation.

• Energy in the form of heat is transferred from the ice cube to the water by conduction.

• Energy in the form of heat is transferred from the water to the ice cube by conduction

Sarah is investigating the transfer of energy in the form of heat. One process that transfers energy between two objects is conduction.

Which statement is NOT true about conduction?

• It involves a transfer of energy in the form of heat.

• It can transfer energy through empty space.

• It requires direct contact between the objects.

• It results in a change of temperature in both objects.

If you visit the beach on a hot summer day you will probably feel a sea breeze coming off the water onto the land.

Which of the following causes this sea breeze?

• During the day, solar radiation warms the land more than the water.

• The water is warmer than the land during the day.

• Earth is tilted toward the Sun, causing air to move inland from the water.

• Hurricanes that form in the oceans blow air into the shore.
