When the ground gets warm, it emits an invisible type of light called infrared light. This light can travel into the atmosphere and heat the air that it encounters. What type of heat transfer is described above? (1 point) Responses precipitation precipitation conduction conduction radiation radiation convection

Answer 1

The type of heat transfer described above is radiation. This is because infrared light travels from the warm ground into the atmosphere, heating the air through the emission of electromagnetic waves.
