Heat transfers through Earth's systems in different ways. In which atmospheric action can we see evidence of conduction? Cold ai

r pushes warm air upward, creating a current. Cold air pushes warm air upward, creating a current. The surface of the Earth heats the air that contacts it. The surface of the Earth heats the air that contacts it. Radiation from the Sun heats the surface of the Earth. Radiation from the Sun heats the surface of the Earth. Air increases in density and sinks back towards the Earth.

Answer:

B. The surface of the Earth heats the air that contacts it.

Explanation:

Conduction is a mode of heat transfer in which energy is transferred from a hot molecule to the neighboring molecules due to contact. Thus, heat energy is transferred from one molecule to another in the process.

Therefore, the air that comes in contact with the surface of the earth heats up by conduction. Since the surface of the earth is heated up due to the radiation from the Sun.

A minimum temperature thermometer in a standard weather instrument shelter measures an overnight low temperature of 36 degrees F
Rudiy27

Answer:

Explanation:

Even though the minimum temperature is more than the freezing point, Frost was observed on the ground because the ground will cool rapidly as cool air tends to move towards the ground, the temperature of the ground is lower than the atmosphere a few feet above it.

As the thermometer is kept some feet above the ground so ground temperature may be lower than the minimum recorded temperature.
