Final answer:

In convection, warmer material rises and colder material sinks, transferring energy. Materials have varying specific heat capacities affecting the energy needed to raise temperatures. The correct order of Earth materials is lead, basalt, granite for increasing energy needed to raise temperatures by 1°C.


Explanation:

Convection is the process where warmer material rises and colder material sinks, transferring energy. In terms of increasing order in the amount of energy needed to raise temperatures by 1°C, the correct list of Earth materials would be (4) lead, basalt, granite. This is because different materials have varying specific heat capacities, leading to different amounts of energy required to raise their temperatures by the same amount.
