Question

Water is boiling in a clear pot, as shown in the picture. Which takes place as water cycles from the bottom of the pot toward the top?

Answer 1

Correct answer choice is:

Thermal energy is transferred.

Explanation:

Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy by a chain of collisions among neighboring atoms and molecules. A container being boiled on a stove is an illustration of conduction. Radiation is the shift of energy by electromagnetic waves, without requiring a means so as air or water molecules.

Answer 2

Hot and cold water rising and sinking through other water
is definitely a description of convection.
