What is the transfer of thermal energy through a fluid (gas or liquid) called?

• Conduction

• Convection

• Radiation

• Insulation

What is the main difference between conduction and convection?

• Conduction occurs in fluids through movement, while convection occurs in solids through direct contact.

• Conduction occurs in solids through direct contact, while convection occurs in fluids through movement.

• Conduction and convection are the same processes that occur in all states of matter.

• Conduction occurs only in gases, while convection occurs only in liquids.

What is radiation?

• The transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves.

• The process of converting light into sound.

• The emission of particles from a radioactive substance.

• The movement of heat through conduction.

Why is understanding heat transfer important in everyday life?

• It helps us understand how to manage energy use, stay comfortable, and cook food.

• It allows us to predict weather patterns and climate changes.

• It is essential for understanding chemical reactions in cooking.

• It helps in designing better electronic devices.

How does heat transfer affect weather patterns?

• Heat transfer through convection in the atmosphere creates wind and weather systems.

• Heat transfer has no effect on weather patterns.

• Heat transfer only affects ocean currents, not the atmosphere.

• Heat transfer is solely responsible for climate change.

What is conduction?

• The transfer of heat through direct contact between materials.

• The process of heat transfer through fluids by the movement of the fluid itself.

• The transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.

• The process of heat transfer through the movement of electrons in a conductor.

What is the transfer of energy as heat by the movement of a liquid or gas?

• Conduction

• Convection

• Radiation

• Insulation

Give an example of radiation.

• Feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin.

• Hearing a sound from a distance.

• Seeing a rainbow after rain.

• Tasting food that is too hot.
