Here are the correct answers for each of your questions:

Question 1: Warmth from the fireplace circulating through the house.
Answer: radiation and convection
(Heat from the fireplace radiates out, and the warm air circulates, creating convection currents.)

Question 2: Burning your hand on a hot pan.
Answer: conduction
(Heat is transferred through direct contact with the hot pan.)

Question 3: Which type of heat transfer is happening when the sun warms your face?
Answer: radiation
(The sun transfers heat through radiation.)

Question 4: Steam piping out of a teapot.
Answer: convection
(As the water heats, it produces steam which then rises, contributing to convection.)

Question 5: Using a blow dryer to dry your hair.
Answer: radiation and convection
(The hot air from the blow dryer heats the hair, and some heat is transferred by radiation as well.)
