Volcanoes release large quantities of hot smoke into the sky. Which thermal energy transfer process is responsible for sending the hot smoke up into the sky? (1 point) Responses conduction because it causes warmer air to rise up and the cooler more dense air to sink to the ground. conduction because it causes warmer air to rise up and the cooler more dense air to sink to the ground. convection because it causes the warmer air to rise up and the cooler more dense air to sink to the bottom. convection because it causes the warmer air to rise up and the cooler more dense air to sink to the bottom. conduction because it causes the heat to transfer through the electromagnetic waves into the sky. conduction because it causes the heat to transfer through the electromagnetic waves into the sky. radiation because it causes thermal energy to transfer through direct contact.

Answer 1

The correct response is: convection because it causes the warmer air to rise up and the cooler more dense air to sink to the bottom.

Convection is the process responsible for the movement of hot smoke produced by volcanoes, as the warmer, less dense air rises, while the cooler, denser air sinks.
