If these three materials all come into contact at once, which direction will thermal energy flow?
A. O from A to both B and C
B. O from B to both A and C
C. O from both A and B to C
D. Ofrom C to both A and B

C. O from both A and B to C

Explanation:

Thermal energy is the energy derived from heat. Ideally, thermal energy will flow from a hotter region to a colder or less hot region. According to the image depicted in this question, three materials of differing temperature values are shown.

If these three materials all come into contact at once, thermal energy will flow via conduction, from the hottest to the coldest. Since materials A and B are of the same temperature value, which is higher than that of material C, THERMAL ENERGY WILL FLOW FROM BOTH A and B (hottest) to C (coldest).

N.B: The temperature reading is indicated in the image. The higher the value on the scale, the higher the temperature.

the answer is b. 0; 4

they each offer a fresh glut of resources to the organisms that can arrive and exploit them. as individuals and new species continue to appear, they actively and passively alter the environment. competition for shared resources increases, local abiotic and biotic conditions shift, and the relative abundances of species change accordingly. the process is called ecological succession, and it is one of the earliest and most well-known concepts in ecology.
