Answer:

The answer is C.) radiation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conduction involves two objects touching, convection is the motion of energy moving in a circular motion, and reflection is the motion of something reflecting off of another object. Radiation is the correct answer.

Answer:

conduction is a correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Heat is transferred by three ways:

Conduction

Convection

Radiation

Conduction:

  • heat is transferred by the collisions which occur between the neighboring molecules.
  • it occurs in the liquid and solids stage in which molecules are close to each other.
  • Heat is transfer from the area of high heat to the area of low heat through direct contact. The molecules which are warmer they vibrate and collide with the molecules nearby and they transfer the energy.

Heat is transferred to the Earth's surface through the process of Conduction,since air is not a good conductor, so most of the energy near Earth's surface is transfer by the conduction.
