Question

This type of heat is transferred through direct contact types of heat transfer touching a hot pot the sun heat rays currents under the Earth's surface A conduction B radiation C convection

Answer 1

The type of heat transfer that occurs through direct contact is **A) conduction**.

Here's a brief overview of the other two types of heat transfer you mentioned:

- **B) Radiation** refers to the transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves (like the heat from the sun).
- **C) Convection** is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases), which involves the movement of warmer areas rising and cooler areas sinking.

So for your specific example of touching a hot pot, the correct answer is conduction.
