What are the effects of heat waves?
heat stroke, heat cramps and heat exhaustion
Will heat move from the ground to the atmosphere by conduction if the air is warmer than the ground?
No. If the air is warmer than the ground any movement of heat by conduction will be from the air to the ground.

Heat waves form when there are no clouds or there is a disturbance in the usual weather pattern. The sun can easily access the ground and reaches extreme heat.
How do clouds heat and cool the earth?
The clouds play a role similar to the ozone layer. Ultra violet radiation coming from the sun strikes the clouds and the ozone layer and is repelled back into space allowing only "safe" light waves to hit the Earth. The ground absorbs heat, and then releases it. The rising heat reaches the clouds and is reflected back down to the Earth.
What heat energy is transferred in form of waves?
heat transfer by e.m. waves
