Question

Which way does thermal energy move when a cool breeze moves over a
warm lake?

Answer 1

So energy flows from the particles in the warmer bowl to the particles in the cold ice and, later, the cooler water. If energy flowed in the opposite direction— from cooler to warmer—the ice would get colder and the bowl would get hotter, and you know that never happens.

Heat moves in three ways: Radiation, conduction, and convection. Radiation happens when heat moves as energy waves, called infrared waves, directly from its source to something else. ... When the heat waves hits the cooler thing, they make the molecules of the cooler object speed up
