The three correct ways in which heat energy leaves the surface of land mass are:
1. **Evaporation** - When water evaporates from the land surface, it absorbs heat energy, leading to a cooling effect.
2. **Conduction to air which then rises** - Heat energy can be conducted to the air directly above the land surface, warming it. This warm air then rises, causing heat to be transferred away from the land.
3. **Radiation of infrared energy** - The land surface also loses heat by radiating infrared energy into the atmosphere.
Animal activity, plant growth, and glacier motion do not directly account for the loss of heat energy from the land surface in the same manner as the options listed above.
