This Turtle turtle is sunbathing through what form of heat transfer?
Radiation
The transfer of heat through a solid material when it touches another object. This is called________?
Conduction
_________________The transfer of heat through currents in a liquid or a gas.
Convection
True or False.
The darker end of the metal would not be hot because that is not the end that is in the fire. Explain your answer.

Because if the global temperature keeps going up our Icecaps will melt causing sea levels to rise. It is also contributing to the cause and severity of natural disasters such as hurricanes.
