When the ground gets warm, it emits an invisible type of light called infrared light. This light can travel into the atmosphere and heat the air that it encounters.

What type of heat transfer is described above

Respuesta :

Radiation. However it isn't exclusively radiation; the warm ground tends to warm the air next to the ground (conduction) and the warm air rises and mixes with the cool air above (convection) so all three methods of heat transfer are used

Answer:

Radiation

Explanation:

Infrared radiation, that portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that extends from the long wavelength, or red, end of the visible-light range to the microwave range. ... Most of the radiation emitted by a moderately heated surface is infrared; it forms a continuous spectrum.
