Explanation: The movement of warmer and cooler mantle rocks creates pockets of circulation within the mantle called convection cells. The force of the magma movement is thought to move the tectonic plates above. 15) Heat would best be transferred by conduction between a candle and A) the air. an oven and a B) glass dish. a stove and a C) copper pot. water and a wooden D) spoon. Explanation: a stove and a copper pot because metal conducts heat better than any of the other substances, which are insulators. 16) Conduction occurs more easily between solids and liquids. This is because the particles in gases are farther apart and A) move faster. closer together and B) move faster. further apart and move C) more slowly. closer together and move D) more slowly. Explanation: Gases do not transfer heat as easily through conduction because their particles are farther apart and move faster. Close proximity of molecules in a substance helps facilitate the transfer of heat. 17) The name for heat transfer between two solids which are in direct contact or touching one another is A) conduction. B) convection. C) insulation. D) radiation. Explanation: conduction is when heat is transferred directly from one solid to another. 18) Molecules of two solid substances actually collide with each other to transfer energy in this method of heat transfer. A) conduction B) convection C) insulation D) radiation Explanation: conduction is when heat is transferred directly from one to another through the collision of molecules. 19) When ironing clothes, the primary method of heat transfer is A) conduction. B) convection. C) insulation. D) radiation. Explanation: conduction is when heat is transferred directly from one to another through the collision of molecules. 20)
