Question

Which are ways in which heat energy leaves the surface of land masses? Select the three correct answers.(2 points)

Answer 1

Evaporation

Conduction to air, which then rises in convection

Radiation of infrared energy

Explanation:

• Evaporation is a method where the water changes from the liquid stage to the gas stage. The liquid molecules will collide with each other when they are changing their phase. During this change, there will be a little energy transformation happening from one molecule to another.
• Conduction is the process at which the electricity or the heat transmitted through the medium when the difference in temperature occurs. In this process, the material is not moving.
• Convection movement will happen in gases and liquids because of their tendency to get hotter. Less dense molecules will go up and the denser molecule will come down which eventually transfer heat.

• Radiation is the energy emission in form of subatomic particles, electromagnetic waves and other high energy particles.
