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?


Conduction


Convection


Radiation


Evaporation

Answer 1

Conduction

Heat is transferred directly through contact from the warmer hand to the colder snow cone, causing the ice cream to melt. Convection involves fluid movement, radiation is heat by electromagnetic waves, and evaporation is a phase change.
