Kumar is studying how Earth is warmed by sunlight. Which process is mostly responsible for warming the soil in Kumar’s model?
Radiation from the lamp reaches the soil and causes the soil to warm.
electromagnetic radiation from the sun
Radiation can transfer energy between objects that are not in contact with each other.
cooler air molecules come in contact with warm ground, causing energy to be passed to the air
Energy in the form of heat will flow from the rock to the ground, and the temperature of the rock will decrease.
Heat
Energy is transferred to the air touching the ground.
temperature
Conduction happens as energy flows from a warmer object to a cooler object. Which of the following is an example of conduction?
Radiation from the lamp reaches the soil and causes the soil to warm.
electromagnetic radiation from the sun
Radiation can transfer energy between objects that are not in contact with each other.
cooler air molecules come in contact with warm ground, causing energy to be passed to the air
Energy in the form of heat will flow from the rock to the ground, and the temperature of the rock will decrease.
Heat
Energy is transferred to the air touching the ground.
temperature
In winter, cold air can come into direct contact with warmer ground. Which statement best describes how this cold air is warmed by conduction?
Radiation from the lamp reaches the soil and causes the soil to warm.
electromagnetic radiation from the sun
Radiation can transfer energy between objects that are not in contact with each other.
