Define conduction correct answers The transfer kinetic of energy from particle to particle. Give and example of conduction correct answers Cold spoon into hot soup Define thermal conductivity correct answers The ability of an object to transfer heat Why is the air closest to the surface warmer during the day? correct answers conduction from the earth's surface to the air in contact with it Why is the air closest to the surface cooler at night? correct answers earth's surface has a radiation deficit, thus cooling and conduction then cools the air in contact with the surface What is a nocturnal inversion? correct answers When low level air temperatures are cooler due to conduction, while temperature of the air above increases with altitude
