Q: What does a solar power plant turn sunlight into? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Sunlight is turned into electricity at a solar power plant. A large group of mirrors focuses sunlight on one place. This place is called a receiver ( Figure below ). At the receiver, a liquid such as oil or water is heated to a high temperature. The liquid transfers its heat by conduction . In conduction, energy moves between two objects that are in contact. The warmer object transfers heat to the cooler object. At a solar power plant, the energy conducted by the heated liquid is used to make electricity. Choices: - machinery - batteries - mechanical energy - electricity A:
(Answer)
electricity

Q: How is thermal energy transferred in every-day, real life situations, such as holding a warm cup? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: A: Thermal energy is transferred by conduction from the hot iron to the shirt, from the hot cup to the hand holding it, from the flame of the camp stove to the bottom of the pot as well as from the bottom of the pot to the food inside, and from the feet to the snow. The shirt, hand, pot, food, and snow become warmer because of the transferred energy. Because the feet lose thermal energy, they feel colder. Choices: - decomposition - condensation - oxidation - conduction A:
(Answer)
conduction
