1 answer
The correct response 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.
In this explanation, conduction involves the direct transfer of heat from the ground to the air that is in contact with it, while convection involves the movement of warmer air that rises and is replaced by cooler air, creating a circulation of thermal energy.
