Answer:

wind blowing across the body surface

Step-by-step explanation:

The body regulates its temperature by a process known as Thermoregulation.

When the enviroment is not neutral in terms of temperature. The body uses four mechanisms to maintain homeostasis.

  • Conduction-Transfer of heat by two objects that are in direct contact. Body with a hot or cold surface
  • Radiation-Transfer via infrared waves. Radiation of the sun warming the body
  • Evaporation- Heat transfer by evaporation of water. Evaporating water as sweat
  • Convection- Heat transfer via air. Wind blowing across the surface of the body.
