The correct example of the transfer of thermal energy to the air around Earth by convection and conduction is:
Thermal energy is transferred by conduction from the ground to the surrounding air and by convection as the air rises higher in the atmosphere.
This statement accurately describes the processes: conduction occurs when the ground directly heats the air in contact with it, and convection occurs as this warmer air rises, creating circulation patterns in the atmosphere.
