The four mechanisms of heat transfer are conduction, radiation, convection, and advection. An understanding of the various mechanisms of energy transfer is crucial in understanding weather, climate, evolution of landscapes, and many of our daily activities.
Match the following statements to the correct mechanism of heat transfer.

1) Least important mode of heat transfer in gases.
2) Capable of passing through a vacuum.
3) Vertical heat transfer by flow of a gas, a liquid, or a weak solid.
4) More important mode of heat transfer in solids.
5) Often responsible for coastal fog formation.
6) Thermal energy is transferred by direct contact.
7) Energy transfer by means of electrical and magnetic fields.
8) Conduction Horizontal transfer of heat.
9) Often takes the form of a circular path.

there's multiple reasons why the conquistadors were so successful in colonizing central america, and some of them are:

- they were seen as gods;

at the beginning, the spanish settlers were seen by the natives as gods, and this was mainly due to their white skin, and the way they came with their boats.

- possessed superior weaponry;

the spanish had gunpowder and guns, as well as cannons, while the natives did not had any fire weapons.

- made cleaver alliances;

they used the situation of tribes hating each other, so they made alliances with some of them which served them very well.

- brought diseases;

the native people were not immune to certain diseases the europeans brought with them, so they were dying from seeming harmless things for european standards.
