Heat Transfer Unit 6 Quiz

A student holds an ice cube in his hand to demonstrate the transfer of thermal energy. In his hand, the ice cubes quickly begin to melt. The ice cubes are shown.

Which best describes the process of thermal energy the student is demonstrating?

• .

  The student is demonstrating conduction, where heat is transferred from the ice cubes to his hand.

• The student is demonstrating conduction, where heat is transferred from his hand to the ice cubes.

• The student is demonstrating convection, where heat is transferred from his hand to the ice cubes.

• 
  The student is demonstrating convection, where heat is transferred from the ice cubes to his hand.

A student wishes to conduct an investigation of heat transfer that demonstrates convection. Which method should the student use?

• Melt chocolate bars in a microwave at different settings.

• Leave a glass of ice water outside in the direct sunshine.

• Pour cold, colored water into a bowl of hot water that is another color.

• Place a spoon that is room temperature on top of a hot burner on a stove.

The picture shows a diagram of Earth's layers and tectonic plates. When the tectonic plates shift, the ground shakes violently, causing an event called an earthquake.

• convection, the circular movement of liquid magma that pushes and moves floating tectonic plates

• evaporation, the transformation of water from tectonic plates to water vapor that pulls on liquid magma

• conduction, the transfer of thermal energy from liquid magma to tectonic plates that moves liquid magma

• 
  radiation, the movement of electromagnetic waves through liquid magma that pushes on tectonic plates
