Heat is transferred by thermal conduction.
Radiation
Radiation heats the sand, but the direct contact transfer of this energy to the bare foot is conduction.
Heat is transferred by a process called conduction when you step on hot sand. The sun warms up the sand and as you walk across a beach on a hot day, the sand acts as a conductor of heat, gradually warming up throughout the day. Depending on the time of day, intensity of the sun and the temperature will affect how hot the sand is and how quickly the heat is conducted to your foot.
Conduction!
-Just took a quiz and it is ^ :)
convection......trust me i'm a seventh grader. So, you come here often?
Conduction transfers heat when objects are in contact. The particles of the hotter substance are moving fast. They bump into those of the colder one and transfer part of their energy.

First radiation from the sun then you have conduction from the hot sand
As with just about everything, the sun will heat dark-coloured sand faster than light coloured sand. Dark colours absorb heat better than light colours.
Sand is not as good a conductor as something more solid like glass because it is composed of tiny granules that are separated by air. If you were to sit a hot pot in a hole made into some sand, the sand would help the pot to maintain its heat for longer than if the pot were sitting on top of the ground.
conduction of heat
sand heats faster because it absorbs heat faster than water!!!!!!
Heat is transferred from sand to towel to body by conduction because of direct contact.

I have actually done this on the beach in the summer. If you walk barefoot on hot sand, it feels hot. I didn't get any actual blisters, though.
The sand at our beach is mostly quartz rock. It is a medium grain sand and is suitable for barefoot walks. On hot days watch out, it may burn your feet.
The possessive form of the noun sand is sand's.example: The sand's heat warmed my feet.
People enjoy walking barefoot in sand and freshly mowed grass.
One example is the sun warming your face. Heat is transferred from the sun to your face. Another example is the fire in the fire place warming your hands.Heat is transferred from the fire to your hands. Another example is when you lay your towel on the sand. Heat is transferred from the sand to the towel. Another example is the fire heating up the stove. Heat is transferred from the fire to the stove. The last example is the light bulb warming your face. The heat from the light bulb is transferred to your face.
The energy from the Sun adds energy to the molecules of the outermost layer of sand, which radiates infrared energy and also conducts thermal energy down into the sand.
From experience of walking barefoot on sandy beaches, I should think the sand rather than the clay. Water has a high specific heat and does not absorb sunlight very well.
Conduction transfers heat when objects are in contact. The particles of the hotter substance are moving fast. They bump into those of the colder one and transfer part of their energy.
Though sand and soil have the same specific heat, sand absorbs more heat.
