How Is Heat Transferred? (Part 2)

What is convection?

• The flow of energy through a liquid or gas caused by hot particles rising and cool particles sinking.

• The transfer of heat through direct contact between objects.

• The emission of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves.

• The process of heat transfer through solid materials.

Which of the following is an example of convection?

• Warm air rising and cool air sinking in the atmosphere.

• Heat transfer through a metal rod.

• Sunlight warming the Earth's surface.

• Ice melting in a glass of water.

Why do warm fluids rise and cool fluids sink?

• Warm fluids are less dense, and cool fluids are denser.

• Warm fluids are heavier, and cool fluids are lighter.

• Warm fluids are solid, and cool fluids are liquid.

• Warm fluids are magnetic, and cool fluids are non-magnetic.
