The transfer of heat by the movement of molecules which carry the heat is called?
CONVECTION
What kinds of matter carry heat by convection?
liquid and gas
What term is used to describe hot air rising to carry heat?
Convection .
How does heat transfer through gases and liquids?
Convection needs something flowing to carry heat. That means a liquid, such as water, or a gas, such as air. Solids don't flow. They block convection.
How does convection occur in radiators?
Convection is defined in the related link. It requires molecular movement to carry the heat away. The exposed surface of a radiator is hot and in contact with air. The air molecules, when in contact with the surface, pick up heat energy and move away, carrying the heat with them -- hence, convection. =============================

What is the movement of molecules that carry heat energy in liquid?
convection
What 2 processes transport Earths energy surpluses poleward from the tropics?
Wind and water. Air currents (wind) carry heat poleward. This is mainly heat transfer by convection. Water currents carry heat poleward. This is heat transfer by convection and conduction.

What is the movement of heat without matter to carry it is?
You think probable to convection or radiation.

What causes heat in air molecules in a hot air balloon to carry thermal energy to the top of the balloon?
Convection. :)
What is the name of the movement of material from the center of the earth outwards this helps to carry heat and move plates?
convection currents
When heat energy is transferred by particles or waves what is it called?
If heat is transferred by waves, we call it radiation. If it is transferred by particles in contact it is conduction, and if the particles move to carry the heat it is convection.
