1. Radiation - energy transmits through particles that ionize. Conduction - heat is transferred through a substance without moving the material. Convection - transfer of heat through movement.

2. Earth receives energy from the sun, which is transferred between Earth and its atmosphere.

3.<span>Wildland fires, dust storms, and volcanic activity. They release CO2, CH4, N20, and sulfur dioxide.</span>

Explanation:

1. Conduction : When two bodies are in direct contact, the heat transfer is said to be taken place by conduction.  

Convection :  Conduction is the heat transfer which takes place by actual motion of matter.          

Radiation :  Radiation is the heat transfer with the help of electromagnetic waves.

2. The earth receives heat from the sun by radiations. This heat is taken up by the earth and is radiated back to the atmosphere.

3. Changes in the earth's orbit around the sun, changes in the axis of rotation and change sin ocean currents are three natural factors that affect earth's climate.

4. Emission of green houses gases to the atmosphere, deforestation, polluting the water bodies are three man made factors that affect earth's climate.

Which would you expect to be the most active on a cold day?
ira [324]
Biologically thinking, I would say viruses.
Viruses are Inert organisms, they are not influenced by temperature on the opposite of other organisms like humans or bacteria (there are some exceptions in bacteria)
Temperature influences proteins, it could change their conformation and their activity, especially for enzymes.
Temperature decreases the energy flow, due to the decrease of thermal agitation of small molecules like ions in cells.
Viruses don't need active enzymes to live, it just needs host cells, which will be easier on cold days because of the decrease of immune system activity
On cold days you can see an emergence of viruses infections like flu or cold.

How to explain natural selection?
loris [4]
Natural selection is basically when organisms with the best traits survive and pass on their good traits to their offspring so that they will adapt easily and survive. Organisms who do not have ‘good traits’ that help them adapt and escape predators will be killed or eaten before they reproduce.
So in the end, natural selection is a form of evolution that allows the ‘fittest’ animals to survive and reproduce, while weeding out the unfit.
