Answer:

Exothermic processes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exothermic processes will feel warm to the touch and show an increase in temperature. For example, when an 'instant hand warmer' is exposed to air a chemical reaction takes place that releases heat. This exothermic chemical reaction can be used to warm a person's hands when they are cold.
