Two metal blocks that have slightly different temperatures are placed next to one another. After five minutes, they both have lower but equal temperatures. According to the law of conservation of energy, what most likely happened?
Energy was created inside the blocks.
Energy was destroyed inside the blocks.
Energy was absorbed into the blocks from outside the system.
Energy was transferred from the warmer block to the cooler block.

Energy was transferred from the warmer block to the cooler block.
Some energy was also absorbed by the outside system. If energy was only transferred between the 2 blocks (a closed system), one would have a slightly higher temperature after a while.

The two blocks attained the same teemperature because  energy was transferred from the warmer block to the cooler block.

What is thermal equilibrium?

The term thermal equilibrium refers to the fact that if two bodies that are at different temperatures are made to be kept together, heat energy is transferred from the hotter to the cooler body untill the both of them attain the same temperature.

Now, the reason why the two blocks attained the same teemperature is that, energy was transferred from the warmer block to the cooler block.
