Conduction -- The transfer of heat by touch. When you touch a hot stove, the heat conducts onto your hand. The hot, fast moving molecules crash into the slower moving, cooler ones in your hand, and heat it.
Convection -- The transfer of heat by movement of heated matter. When you turn on the heater by your feet, your head feels warm soon. This is because the heat travels through the air (matter) up to your head. When the hot air touches your head, convection happens :) (I know I'm a nerd but I love science)
Radiation -- The transfer of heat by electromagnetic waves. Big words, I know. but it just means something like sunlight actually carries the heat to you, like in a tanning bed or sun lamp.

When a tree is burned, the chemical energy stored in the tree (in the form of carbohydrates and other molecules) is converted into thermal energy through the process of combustion. Heat is released as the bonds in the chemical compounds break, resulting in a fire that generates heat and light.
A tree stores potential energy, also known as chemical energy, in the form of carbohydrates through photosynthesis. When burned, this stored energy is released as heat and light energy.
The energy stored in a tree is primarily potential energy. This energy is stored in the form of chemical energy through photosynthesis, where the tree converts sunlight into glucose and stores it in its cells for growth and metabolism. When the wood is burned, this stored energy is released as heat and light energy.
A tree converts sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide through photosynthesis into chemical energy stored in glucose. This energy is then used by the tree for growth, reproduction, and other metabolic processes. Additionally, trees release energy in the form of heat during respiration, where glucose is broken down to release energy for cellular functions.
Well, honey, a tree is full of potential energy, ready to be released when it falls or when it's turned into firewood. It's like a little green battery just waiting to be used. So, next time you see a tree, just remember it's packed with energy, just like your grandma after her morning coffee.

When lightning strikes a tree, the intense heat generated can vaporize sap and moisture within the tree, creating steam that can cause the tree to explode. This explosion can then lead to a fire starting due to the ignition of the tree's dry and flammable fibers.
A tree is an example of chemical energy because it stores energy within its cells in the form of chemical bonds. This energy is released when the tree undergoes chemical reactions, such as during photosynthesis when it converts sunlight into stored energy in the form of glucose.
From gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy and if you want it until it drops onto the ground , (continue from kinetic energy) heat energy + sound energy.
I'm pretty sure it's chemical energy to light+heat energy.

As all parts of a tree will burn, the fire turns the tree into heat and to power if properly controlled.
No, a tree itself does not possess kinetic energy. Kinetic energy refers to the energy an object has due to its motion. A tree can store potential energy, such as when its branches are bent or its leaves are lifted up.
Yes, lightning striking a tree can knock it down if the strike is powerful enough to cause significant damage to the tree's structure. The intense heat from the lightning can also vaporize water inside the tree, leading to an explosive release of energy that can split or topple the tree.
