Answer to Question 1

E

Answer to Question 2

Heat moves in four ways, conduction, convection, radiation, and latent. When water is boiling the source of conduction is the gas or electricity on the stove, it provides the heat that will help to allow the molecules of water to boil. Convection happens as the warm regions in the water become less dense and begin to rise, causing the boiling to begin. Radiation releases electromagnetic energy that is felt from the heat source and latent heat transfer occurs as the water evaporates as it boils, giving of steam that we might see.
