Andre listed some properties of electromagnetic waves.
1) transfer thermal energy by radiation
2) can transfer energy over great distances
3) need matter to transfer energy through
4) are disturbances that carry energy
which best describes andre’s error?
electromagnetic waves transfer thermal energy by conduction.
electromagnetic waves can only transfer energy over short distances.
electromagnetic waves can transfer energy through empty space.
electromagnetic waves are not considered disturbances.

The right answer is Electromagnetic waves can transfer energy through empty space.  

Electromagnetic radiation refers to a form of linear energy transfer. Visible light is electromagnetic radiation, but is only a small slice of the broad electromagnetic spectrum. The propagation of this radiation does not need material to move.

if we take the example of solar energy, it spreads in space, the atmosphere until reaching the earth.

Once it reaches a material, it gives rise to many phenomena such as attenuation, absorption, diffraction and refraction, redshift, interferences, echoes, electromagnetic parasites and biological effects.

Electromagnetic waves can transfer energy through empty space.

glacial erosion, the picking up and movement of earth beneath a glacier, is also referred to as plucking. erosion and transportation of individual pieces of bedrock, especially large "joint block occur as a result of this glacial erosion. plucking is type of erosion in which rocks become frozen into the bottom and sides of the glacier.as the glacier moves downhill it 'plucks' the rocks frozen into the glacier from the ground.
