31
At the beach walking on the sand, heat energy is transferred from the sand to your feet because
The air pressure in the sand is higher than in your feet
Heat will move from a warmer object to a cooler object
Heat will move from a cooler object to a warmer object
The air pressure in your feet is higher than the sand
