Answer 1

C. A spoon heats up while sitting in a bowl of soup.Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact. The hot soup directly contacts the spoon, transferring heat and causing the spoon's temperature to rise.The other options describe different methods of heat transfer:* **A. A cat warms up by sitting in a patch of sunlight:** This is radiation, where heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves.* **B. The warm Gulf Stream warms the European coast:** This is convection, where heat is transferred through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases).* **D. You cool off by standing in a cool breeze:** This is also convection, with the breeze carrying away your body heat.
