Explanation:

When we heat a fluid (liquid or gas) then hot material (less dense) will rise to the top and cool material (more dense) will sink at the bottom. Hence, this process of inter mixing of fluids is known as convection.

So, when we hold our hand over a pot of boiling water then due to the convection process taking place we feel heat on our hand. Whereas when there occurs direct touch between two objects of different temperature then this heat transfer is known as conduction.

Thus, we can conclude that the boiling water is transferring heat to your hand through convection.

kolezko [41]

Answer:

  (E) a greatly increased number of small particles in Earth’s orbit would result in a blanket of reflections that would make certain valuable telescope observations impossible

Explanation:

The trade is one strong reflection for many weak reflections (and more dangerous near-Earth space travel).

None of the answer choices except the last one has anything to do with the effect of exploding a satellite. When you are arguing that exploding a satellite is ill conceived, you need to address specifically the effects of exploding the satellite.
