Different areas of Earth’s oceans receive different amounts of energy in the form of heat, resulting in ocean currents and weather patterns. What is the main source of this energy?
electromagnetic radiation from the sun
cooler air molecules come in contact with warm ground, causing energy to be passed to the air
There must be contact between the two parts.
kinetic energy
conduction
It can transfer energy through empty space.
electromagnetic radiation from the sun
infrared radiation
Conduction happens as energy flows from a warmer object to a cooler object. Which of the following is an example of conduction?
electromagnetic radiation from the sun
cooler air molecules come in contact with warm ground, causing energy to be passed to the air
There must be contact between the two parts.
kinetic energy
conduction
It can transfer energy through empty space.
