What is the process called when heat is transferred without direct contact of matter?

• Conduction

• Radiation

• Convection

• Evaporation

Why does water feel colder than air at the same temperature?

• Water is denser than air

• Water has a higher specific heat capacity

• Water conducts heat away from the body more efficiently than air

• Water evaporates faster

What is hypothermia?

• A condition where the body loses too much water

• A condition where the body temperature drops dangerously

• A condition where the body temperature rises dangerously

• A condition where the body gains too much heat

What makes neoprene wetsuits effective in preventing heat loss?
