A is a device that uses electric energy to pump thermal energy from a cooler location to a warmer location.

heat engine

Explanation:

The increase in the object's thermal energy could be a potential energy increase. Predict- suppose a beaker of water is heated from the top. Predict which is more likely to occur in the water: thermal energy transfer by conduction or convection. Thermal energy transfer by conduction is more likely to occur.

answer; i believe the answer is hydraulic action;

the water is warmed up by the sun and then it evaporates into the atmosphere. the sunlight warms the water by its heat. water is then cooled down and condensation takes place. the water then finally returns back to the earth by the process of precipitation in the form of rain or ice.
