The three correct answers for the ways in which heat energy leaves the surface of land masses are:
1. **Evaporation** - This process removes heat from the surface as water transitions from liquid to vapor.
2. **Radiation of infrared energy** - Land masses emit heat energy in the form of infrared radiation, which is a key way heat dissipates into the atmosphere.
3. **Conduction to air, which then rises in convection** - Heat can transfer from the land surface to the air directly (conduction), and the warmed air can then rise, promoting convection currents.
Glacial motion, animal activity, and plant growth do not directly facilitate the loss of heat energy from land masses in the same way as the first three listed.
