correct description of how the sun transfers heat to Earth? The space between the sun and Earth contains no matter. Convection cannot occur in gases. Earth can absorb heat only in the form of radiation. Electromagnetic waves do not carry energy.

Answer: The space between the sun and Earth contains no matter.

Explanation:

MODES OF HEAT TRANSFER

1. Conduction: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct contact between the two objects.

2. Convection: This type of heat transfer happens when there is a movement of fluid (liquid or gas).

3. Radiation: This type of heat transfer happens when there is direct transfer of energy through space.

Thus convection can not take place between earth and sun as there is no liquid or gas present for movement of heat. The heat is transferred from sun to earth by radiation as it occurs through space.

Answer:

Option A, The space between the sun and Earth contains no matter

Explanation:

For convection to take place some medium is required for heat to travel.  

Basically convection takes place when heat flows from a region of high temperature to a region of low temperature which also requires matter motion. Since the space between earth and sun is a vacuum, therefore convection cannot take place.  

However, sun provides heat to earth through radiation as it does not require a medium for travelling.  

Hence, option A is correct

5 goals of psychology?
Svetllana [295]
1. Describe - the first goal is to observe behavior and describe.
2. Explain - While descriptions come from observable data, psychologists must go beyond what is obvious and explain their observations. In other words, why did the subject do what he or she did?
3. Predict - Once we know what happens, and why it happens, we can begin to speculate what will happen in the future.
4. Control - Once we know what happens, why it happens and what is likely to happen in the future, we can excerpt control over it
5. Improve - Not only do psychologists attempt to control behavior, they want to do so in a positive manner, they want to improve a person’s life, not make it worse.

Anastaziya [24]

Complete question: A phylogenetic tree shows that birds and crocodiles share many features. A hypothesis based on this tree predicts that these features are present in a common ancestor. Which of these predicted traits is supported by fossil evidence?

A) four-chambered heart

B) singing for territory

C) eggs and nests

D) singing to attract mates

Answer: (c) eggs and nests

Explanation:

A hypothesis based on phylogenetic tree shows that birds and crocodiles have ancestral connection. Fossil evidence shows that their common ancestor exhibit oviparity as a means of reproduction (i.e. laying of eggs and embryo develops within the egg), and also housed their eggs in the nest for protection against predators and other important reasons.
