Question

1. fill in the blanks in the table with the correct method of thermal energy transfer: conduction, convection, or radiation. method of thermal energy transfer example thermal energy transfers from a warmer surface to a cooler one when the surfaces are in direct contact. thermal energy is transferred through space to a habitable planet. a hurricane forms when the sun heats the surface of the ocean. warmer air rises and cool air falls.

Explanation:

• Conduction: Occurs when thermal energy transfers between surfaces in direct contact.
• Radiation: Thermal energy transfer through space (e.g., from the Sun to a planet).
• Convection: Involves the movement of fluids (like air) due to temperature differences (warmer air rising, cooler air falling).

Answer:

1. Conduction
2. Radiation
3. Convection
