Question

which of the following is an example of convection? a hand getting burned by touching the stove. an ice cube gets dropped on the floor and melts. clothes getting hot from being ironed. a fire burning wood.

Explanation:

Convection is heat transfer through the movement of a fluid (liquid or gas). A hand getting burned by touching a stove is conduction (heat transfer through direct contact). An ice - cube melting after being dropped on the floor is due to heat transfer from the floor to the ice, which can be conduction. Clothes getting hot from ironing is also conduction as the heat is transferred from the iron to the clothes through direct contact. A fire burning wood involves the release of heat and gases, and the hot gases rise, which is an example of convection as the hot gas (a fluid) is in motion and transferring heat.

Answer:

A fire burning wood.
