Question

The Sun is the Earth’s primary source of energy. The sunlight that hits the Earth is absorbed by the Earth’s surface. This causes Earth’s surface to heat up. It heats up differently depending on what type of material absorbs the light. This uneven heating causes localized winds which can be easily seen near coastlines.
What type of energy transfer is occurring as the winds are moving?

Convection

Conduction

Radiation

Force

Answer 1

Answer:

Convection

Explanation:

I believe because the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.
