Answer 2

It might be C, you can look at this: http://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/facts/climate.html

Answer 3

It would not be A, insulation does not transfer heat.

Answer 4

????
ok

Answer 5

Heat radiation is the transfer of internal energy in the form of electromagnetic wave

Answer 6

so c

Answer 7

Like how fire warms, radiation usually generates heat and light, like a fire, so not C

Answer 8

so it is either B or D

Answer 9

Conduction is the transfer of heat when they are touching

Answer 10

And Convection is heat transfer by mass motion of a fluid such as air or water when the heated fluid is caused to move away from the source of heat, carrying energy with it

Answer 11

It would most likely be B, because convection is part of the water cycle. It is a form of evaporation, where the sun heats water into steam
