Question

which is an example of heat transfer through conduction? a putting a stick directly into the fire and it burning. b holding your hands over the fire to feel its warmth. c drying your wet clothes by placing them near the fire. d roasting a marshmallow with the hot air rising from the fire.

Explanation:

Conduction is heat transfer through direct contact. Putting a stick directly into the fire involves direct contact between the stick and the hot - burning material in the fire, which is conduction. Holding hands over the fire (B) is radiation as heat travels through the air without direct contact. Drying clothes near the fire (C) and roasting a marshmallow with rising hot air (D) are examples of convection as heat is transferred by the movement of hot air.

Answer:

A. Putting a stick directly into the fire and it burning
