The arrow above the water is coming down and is blue because
the water is warm so it warms the air and warm air sinks.
the water is cold so it warms the air and cool air sinks.
the water is cold so it cools the air and cool air sinks.
the water is warm so it warms the air and cool air sinks.
The arrow above the land is going up and is red because
the land is warm so it warms the air and warm air rises.
the land is cold so it warms the air and cool air sinks.
the land is cold so it cools the air and cool air sinks.
the land is warm so it warms the air and cool air rises.

Kito puts his spoon into a helping of fresh, hot, mashed potatoes as shown in the picture. Which process takes place when the objects come together?
The temperature of the spoon increases, but its thermal energy does not change.
Energy in the form of heat is transferred by conduction from the warmer mashed potatoes to the cooler spoon.
The thermal energy of both the mashed potates and the spoon increase as the energy in the form of heat is transferred between them.
The average temperature of the spoon does not change.
As energy in the form of heat is added to an ice cube, it begins to melt. What causes melting.
Heat causes the molecules to expanded and forces them apart.
Heat removes thermal energy from the ice cube and causes it to become liquid water.
Adding energy causes the bonds between the hydrogen and oxygen in the ice cube to break.
The transfer of thermal energy to the ice cube causes its molecules to move faster.
Which example illustrate the transfer of energy through RADIATION?
feeling warmth when you sit in a sunny place.
feeling warm air while standing in front of the blower from a heating system.
feeling the warmth of the bricks around a fireplace by touching them with your hand.
feeling warmth on the soles of your feet when you walk along the beach on a sunny day.
How does heat transfer when you hold an ice cube in your hand?
from the cold ice cube to your warm hand
the cold ice cube makes your hand cold
from your warm hand to the cold ice cube

What is latent heat?
The heat energy kept in when water vapor stays as the same state.
The heat energy released or absorbed by water vapor as it changes its state.
The heat energy that is turned into cold temperatures because of hail.
The heat energy that is released or absorbed by water vapor while staying as the same state.
