The diagram shows movement of thermal energy.
in which areas of the diagram does conduction occur?

a: w and x
b: x and z
c: y and z
d: z and w

B. X and Z

Explanation:

There are three modes by which heat can be transferred. Heat always transfers from hotter object to colder object.

Conduction occurs when there is contact between hotter body and colder body. The molecules vibrate at their position and transfer heat to the neighboring molecules. In the diagram conduction takes place at X and Z. The heat transfers from pan to handle at X and then from handle to hand at Z.

Convection occurs in fluid. Bulk motion of fluid carries energy. Like in area W in the diagram.

Radiation does not require medium to transfer energy. Like in area Y marked in the diagram.

the arctic is a region of the planet, north of the arctic circle, and includes the arctic ocean, greenland, baffin island, other smaller northern islands, and the far northern parts of europe, russia (siberia), alaska and canada.

the answer is ampere

the ampere is used to measure electricity. an ampere is a unit of electric current equal. a unit of measure for the flow of current in a circuit. one ampere is the amount of current flow provided when one volt of electrical pressure is applied against one ohm of resistance.
