Giovanny Lawrence · Answer 1

When Cody stirs his hot oatmeal quickly then more and more steam releases as heat energy in the form of steam that shifts from the oatmeal to the atmosphere.

As a result, the oatmeal becomes cooler at a faster rate if oatmeal is stirred quickly.

Thus, we can conclude that heat energy of Cody's oatmeal releases in the form of steam that will transfer from oatmeal to the air or atmosphere.

Stirring it releases steam, which transfers heat from his oatmeal to the air.
