Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Convection is the dissemination of heat by motion between areas of unequal density, as occurs with a fan blowing over a warm body. Evaporation is the conversion of a liquid to a vapor. Radiation is the diffusion or dissemination of heat by electromagnetic waves. Conduction is the transfer of heat to another object during direct contact.
