Question 10
1 pts
You are studying temperature dynamics in a desert ecosystem in southeastern Arizona using a new technology that you have
invented to track the movement of heat originating from a single source. You begin your study by measuring the
electromagnetic energy being emitted from a lizard's skin, which you find is rapidly transported away by a breeze that replaces
the warm air around the lizard with cooler air. The heat energy is transported by the wind up the face of a small mountain,
where the air is cooler. On the mountain, the heat energy comes into contact with a mouse's skin, and the energy is transferred
to the mouse. As more and more energy is transferred to the mouse, it begins to pant and sweat to cool itself down. Describe
in order the modes of heat gain and loss that you have observed in your study.
