a)

the forces between particles decrease

b)

the wire absorbs heat from the surrounding air

c)

the wire's particles are moving faster (kinetic energy increases)

Radiation

15.

If a warm front blows into an area with colder air, what will happen?

a)

The cold air and warm air become the same temperature

b)

The warm air stays at the bottom, pushing the cold air up because it is less dense

c)

The warm air rises to the top because it is less dense than the cold air
