Which of the following is correctly matched?
A)conduction - molecule-to-molecule heat transfer
B)advection - strongly vertical mixing
C)radiation - assimilation and conversion of
D)convection - strongly horizontal mixing
E)latent heat - energy that can be sensed

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conduction is the transfer of heat from one molecule to another, without the bulk movement of matter, so it is molecule-to-molecule heat transfer.

The other choices are incorrect because:

B) Advection is the transfer of heat or other atmospheric properties through horizontal movement of air or water, so it is not strongly vertical mixing.

C) Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, so it is not assimilation and conversion of anything.

D) Convection is the transfer of heat by the movement of fluids (gases or liquids), so it is not strongly horizontal mixing.

E) Latent heat is the energy released or absorbed during a change in state of matter (such as during evaporation or condensation), so it is not something that can be directly sensed.
