For this question, choose TWO answers. During the spring, turtles sit out on the rocks to get warm. Which of the following answer choices BEST identifies the heat transfers taking place?

Question 9 options:

convection

conduction

radiation

absorption

reflection

Answer 1

The best answers that identify the heat transfers taking place when turtles sit out on the rocks to get warm are:

1. Conduction - This occurs when the turtles are in direct contact with the warm rocks, transferring heat from the rocks to the turtles.

2. Radiation - This refers to the heat received from the sun warming the turtles directly without any contact, as sunlight travels in waves.

So, the correct answers are conduction and radiation.
