When the match is struck, it burns and the chemical energy in it produces heat energy and light energy
When you strike a match, it moves through the air until it rubs against a surface. The rubbing produces the heat required to light the match. This is a transformation from mechanical energy to thermal (heat) energy.
Transformation that happens when you strike a match is from mechanical energy to thermal energy.
Explanation:
When you strike a match, it moves through the air until it rubs against a surface. The rubbing produces the heat required to light the match. (Thermal energy is heat energy)
