The type of heat transfer described in your question is A. radiation. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, such as infrared light, and does not require a medium (like air or water) to travel through.
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 A. radiation A. radiation B. conduction B. conduction C. convection C. convection D. precipitation

Select all the correct answers. Some areas of the Earth receive more solar radiation than others. Which of the following results from the Sun's uneven heating of the Earth? (1 point) Responses Ocean Currents Ocean Currents Mountain Heights Mountain Heights Climate Climate Weather
The correct answers that result from the Sun's uneven heating of the Earth are:
- Ocean Currents
- Climate
- Weather
Mountain heights are not a direct result of uneven heating by the Sun.
The pattern of _______ in an area over a long period of time is called _______. (1 point) Responses A. climate, weather A. climate, weather B. weather, rain B. weather, rain C. climate, temperature C. climate, temperature D. weather, climate
The correct answer is D. weather, climate.
The pattern of weather in an area over a long period of time is referred to as climate.
Hurricanes are storms that bring rain and very high wind speeds to the Gulf and Atlantic coastlines of the United States. How do ocean currents influence the strength of a hurricane when it makes landfall? (1 point) Responses A. Currents force hurricanes to travel due north to southern coastlines. A. Currents force hurricanes to travel due north to southern coastlines. B. Currents can provide warm water that gives hurricanes energy. B. Currents can provide warm water that gives hurricanes energy. C. Currents take energy from hurricanes, slowing them down. C. Currents take energy from hurricanes, slowing them down. D. Currents are the force that pushes a hurricane across the ocean.
The correct answer is B. Currents can provide warm water that gives hurricanes energy.
Warm ocean water is a key factor in the development and strengthening of hurricanes, as it provides the necessary energy for these storms to intensify.
Water is cooler near the poles and warmer near the equator. Movement of cooler and warmer water from these regions moderates the global climate. Which of the following describes the movement of water between the poles and the equator?(1 point) Responses A. evaporation A. evaporation B. gravity B. gravity C. ocean currents C. ocean currents D. tides
The correct answer is C. ocean currents.
Ocean currents are responsible for the movement of warmer and cooler water between the poles and the equator, playing a significant role in moderating the global climate.
Convection currents, resulting from uneven heating of the Earth's surface, cause _______ to form. (1 point) Responses A. wind A. wind B. volcanoes B. volcanoes C. mountains C. mountains D. fossils
The correct answer is A. wind.
Convection currents caused by uneven heating of the Earth's surface lead to the movement of air, which results in the formation of wind.
