Question

____ is the thermal energy transfer that occurs from the motion of fluid in a liquid or gas.

Answer 1

Answer:

c convection

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is C. Convection.

Radiation is the transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves. Conduction, on the other hand, is energy transfer through solid material. Condensation occurs when warm gas makes contact with a cold surface or environment, which causes a change in state from gas to liquid. These definitions rule out choices A, B, and D. 

Convection is movement of particles in fluid or gas. As liquid/gas heats up, it becomes less dense and rises, moving away from the heat source. When it rises, it eventually cools down and sinks again. It is warmed up again and the cycle continues. This is why there is a circular motion when convection occurs.
