What type of conversion is taking place when natural gas is used to heat water? a.) chemical energy into thermal energy b.) thermal energy into mechanical energy c.) mechanical energy into electromagnetic energy d.) electromagnetic energy into chemical energy

a.) chemical energy into thermal energy

Explanation: Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of molecules.

Thermal energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its temperature.

Mechanical energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position and motion.

Electromagnetic energy is the energy that can be reflected or emitted from objects through electrical or magnetic waves traveling through space.

When natural gas i.e methane is used , the chemical energy stored in the bonds of methane converts to thermal energy which makes the molecules of water gain kinetic energy and move faster.

supercell thunderstorms are perhaps the most violent of all thunderstorm types, and are capable of producing damaging winds, large hail, and weak-to-violent tornadoes
