Question

1. compare calorimetry (burning food to heat water) with mantle convection. how are both examples of energy transfer?

Explanation:

Calorimetry involves chemical - to - thermal energy transfer as food burns to heat water. Mantle convection is thermal - to - mechanical energy transfer as heat in the mantle causes movement. Both involve energy changing forms and being transferred.

Answer:

In calorimetry, chemical energy in food is converted to thermal energy to heat water. In mantle convection, thermal energy in the Earth's mantle causes material to move (mechanical energy). They are examples of energy transfer as energy changes form and is transferred from one substance or region to another.
