Consider a limpet that is grazing on algae on inter-tidal rocks along California

Question

Consider a limpet that is grazing on algae on inter-tidal rocks along California’s coast. It is a calm, sunny day. When the tide is low during the late morning, the ocean waters recede and the limpet’s internal body temperature will increase. What are the two physical processes that cause this temperature rise? As the tide rises later in the day, waves periodically wash over the limpet, and its body temperature begins to decline. What are two physical processes that cause this temperature decline?

Explanation / Answer

The two physical processes that cause this temperature to riseis radiation and convection. The two physical processes thatcause this temperature to decline is conduction and possibly againconvection.
