Kumar is studying how Earth is warmed by sunlight. The following illustration shows his model of the sun and Earth.
Which process is mostly responsible for warming the soil in Kumar’s model?
Conduction between the lamp and the soil causes the soil to warm.
Convection currents between the lamp and the soil cause the soil to warm.
Expansion of particles in the soil causes the soil to warm.
Radiation from the lamp reaches the soil and causes the soil to warm.
A warm rock is in direct contact with the cooler ground.
Which of the following will happen?
Energy in the form of heat will flow from the rock to the ground, and the temperature of the rock will increase
Energy in the form of heat will flow from the ground to the rock, and the temperature of the rock will increase
Energy in the form of heat will flow from the rock to the ground, and the temperature of the rock will decrease.
Energy in the form of heat will flow from the ground to the rock, and the temperature of the rock will decrease.
