Question

When Phineas or Ferb are holding their snow cones, the heat from their hands will transfer into the cone and ice cream. The ice cream will melt. What type of heat transfer is primarily happening here, where heat moves directly from one object to another through touch?


Convection


Evaporation


Conduction


Radiation

Answer 1

Conduction

Heat transfers directly through touch—molecular collisions carry thermal energy from the warmer hands into the colder ice cream, causing it to melt.
