Which of the following explains how the three heat transfers work together to heat the troposphere?
d. currents
The three heat transfers that work together to heat the troposphere are conduction, convection, and radiation.
Conduction occurs when heat is transferred through direct contact between two objects or substances, such as when the sun heats the ground. The heat from the ground then heats the air molecules above it through conduction.
Convection occurs when heat is transferred through the movement of fluids, such as air or water. In the troposphere, warm air rises and cooler air sinks, creating convection currents that transfer heat from the ground or ocean to the upper levels of the atmosphere.
Radiation occurs when heat energy is transferred through electromagnetic waves, such as sunlight reaching the Earth's surface. The sun's radiation heats the Earth's surface, which then emits its own radiation that warms the air above it.
Together, these three mechanisms help to heat the troposphere by transferring heat from the surface of the earth, through the atmosphere, and into the upper levels of the atmosphere.

a
The sun heats the ground through conduction. Then, the ground heats the air through radiation. Lastly, convection carries the warm air throughout the troposphere.
b
The sun heats the ground through radiation. Then the ground heats the air through conduction. Lastly, convection carries the warm air throughout the troposphere.
c
The sun heats the air through radiation. Then, the warm air is carried throughout the troposphere through convection. Lastly, the air heats the ground through conduction.
d
The sun heats the air through convection. Then, the air heats the ground through radiation. Lastly, the ground spreads the heat throughout the troposphere through conduction.
b. The sun heats the ground through radiation. Then the ground heats the air through conduction. Lastly, convection carries the warm air throughout the troposphere.

A student visiting a beach is curious why, on a sunny day, the air, sand, and water all feel like they are different temperatures. The student obtains three thermometers to take temperature measurements of the air, sand, and water. The student places a floating thermometer in the water for 15 minutes and records the temperature. Next, the student stands on the beach with a hand-held thermometer for 15 minutes to record the temperature of the air. The student needs to take the temperature of the sand, but is unsure where to place the third thermometer.
Which answer choice below describes the best location to accurately measure the temperature of the sand?
a
The student should place the thermometer in the sand under the water where the temperature of the water was measured.
b
The student should place the thermometer just under the sand, close to the water's edge.
c
The student should lay the thermometer on top of the sand where the water and sand meet.
d
The student should hold the thermometer close to the sand near the edge of the water.
