Conduction results in the transfer of energy as heat. Which of the following is the best example of energy transfer by conduction?

• Sunlight shines on the ocean warms the surface water.

• Cold surface water is warmed by warm air directly above it.

• Cold ocean water sinks deep into the ocean while warm ocean water rises upward

• Water in the shallow parts of the ocean is warmer than waters in the deeper parts of the ocean.

During a summer day on the beach, the sand on the beach and the air temperature feel hot, but the ocean water feels cold. This is because the land and air change temperature much faster than the ocean water, making the land and the air warmer than the ocean water. At night, why would the ocean water be warmer than the air?

• As a cool breeze blows off the water onto the land, the water warms up.

• The heat from the air transfers to the water during the night, making the water warmer than it was during the day.

• Air changes temperature faster than water, so the water is warmer and the air is much cooler than it was during the day.

• Air stays warmer longer than water so your body is warm when you jump into the water.

The sun emits harmful ultraviolet radiation, some of which reaches Earth's surface. Scientists recommend that people who plan on being outdoors for at least 20 minutes apply sunscreen to protect their skin from ultraviolet radiation. What blocks most of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation from reaching Earth's surface?

• wind

• precipitation

• clouds

• atmosphere
