Question

question #14
the transfer of heat from one object to another through touching is called-
a radiation
b invection
c conduction
d convection
question #15
earths main energy source comes from
a the oceans
b the atmosphere
c the sun
d the movement of tectonic plates.
question #16
what is it called when a water molecule sticks to another water molecule?
a cohesion
b adhesion
question #17
true or false: large bodies of water slowly absorb thermal energy in the summer and release that energy in the winter, which makes the surrounding climate mild.

Explanation:

• Question #14: Heat transfer through touching is conduction. Radiation is heat transfer via electromagnetic waves. Convection is heat transfer through fluid movement. "Invection" is not a standard heat - transfer term.
• Question #15: The Sun is the main energy source for Earth. Oceans, atmosphere, and tectonic plate movement do not serve as the primary energy source.
• Question #16: When a water molecule sticks to another water molecule, it is called cohesion. Adhesion is when a water molecule sticks to a different substance.

Answer:

• Question #14: C. conduction
• Question #15: C. the sun
• Question #16: A. cohesion
