At the beach, differences in temperatures create wind which transfers heat between the land and the water. the same process is also seen in the ocean as the gulf stream carries heat from the tropics northward. heat transfer through any intermediate fluid is known as a)condensation. b)conduction. c)convection. d)radiation.

Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When a fluid is heated then hot material, that is, less dense will rise at the top whereas cool material, that is, more dense will sink at the bottom. This process helps in exchange of heat within the molecules and it is known as convection.

Therefore, we can conclude that heat transfer through any intermediate fluid is known as convection.

molecules are free to separate from each other and will take on the shape of the container. molecules move completely at random and high speeds. they vibrate in a fixed position and do not move around much. molecules expand to the edge of their container.
