Adown jacket keeps your body warm mostly by reducing which form of heat transfer?

The correct answer is

a. conduction

In fact, conduction is the transfer of heat by contact between two mediums. The body exchanges heat by conduction with the air around it: when the down jacket is put on the body, it prevents heat from being given by the body to the surrounding air, therefore keeping the body warm.

Explanation:

Thermal energy is defined as the kinetic energy present within the particles of a substance.

A process in which energy is absorbed by the molecules of a substance is known as endothermic process. On the other hand, a process in which energy is released by the molecules of a substance is known as exothermic process.

Condensation : A process in which vapors change into liquid as bonds are formed and energy is released.

Freezing : A process in which liquid changes into solid as bonds are formed and energy is released.

Deposition : A process in which particles of a substance come closer to each other resulting in bond formation and release of energy.

Sublimation : A process in which solid state directly changes into gaseous state without undergoing liquid state is known as sublimation. In this process, bonds break and energy is absorbed by the solid particles.

Evaporation : A process in which liquid changes into gas as energy is absorbed leading to breakage bond.

Melting : A process in which solid changes into liquid as energy is absorbed leading to breakage bond.

Thus, we can conclude that given processes are sorted as follows.
