match the ways in which heat is transmitted to their descriptions.
conduction
convection
radiation
hot air rises, and cold air sinks.
the air in front of a burning fire is warm.
a metal pan becomes hot after placing it on a hot stove.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify conduction

Conduction is heat transfer through direct contact. A metal pan becoming hot after placing it on a hot - stove is conduction as heat is transferred from the stove (hot object) to the pan (cold object) through direct contact.

Step2: Identify convection

Convection is heat transfer due to the movement of fluids (liquids or gases). Hot air rising and cold air sinking is an example of convection as air (a gas) is moving to transfer heat.

Step3: Identify radiation

Radiation is heat transfer through electromagnetic waves. The air in front of a burning fire is warm due to radiation as heat from the fire reaches the air without the need for a medium in between.

Answer:

Conduction - A metal pan becomes hot after placing it on a hot stove.
Convection - Hot air rises, and cold air sinks.
Radiation - The air in front of a burning fire is warm.
