conduction in solids, the movement of heat in solids is sometimes called heat conduction but it can never be convection

convection in liquids and gases

radiation

What transfer of heat by the movement of air currents in earths atmosphere is an example of?

The transfer of heat by the movement of air currents in Earth's atmosphere is an example of convection. As warmer air rises and cooler air sinks, heat is transferred through the circulation of air in the atmosphere.


Form a hypothesis that can explain this observation. waves A and B travel away from Earth through earths atmosphere. wave a continues wave b does not?

One possible hypothesis is that wave A is a longer wavelength electromagnetic wave, such as radio waves, which can penetrate Earth's atmosphere and continue propagating. In contrast, wave B could be a shorter wavelength wave, like gamma rays or X-rays, which are absorbed or scattered by Earth's atmosphere, causing it to not continue.

Which form of frequency spectrum best describes the method of energy transfer that most solar energy takes as it comes into earths atmosphere?

The solar energy that reaches the Earth's atmosphere follows the electromagnetic spectrum, with most of it falling within the visible and near-infrared region. This energy is predominantly in the form of shortwave radiation, which gets absorbed by the Earth's surface, heats it up, and then gets re-radiated as longwave infrared radiation back into the atmosphere.


What electromagnetic energy can penetrate the earths atmopshere?

Ultraviolet, visible light, and some radio waves are able to penetrate the Earth's atmosphere. However, X-rays and gamma rays are largely absorbed and blocked by the atmosphere.
