CONDUCTION
Conduction = CONTACT
EXAMPLE OF CONDUCTION
A piece of cheese melts as heat is transferred from the meat to
the cheese (Contact)
CONVECTION
Convection is the movement that transfers heat within fluids
and air (gas)
Heat is transferred by currents within the fluid or gas
Convection = VENTS (through air and liquid particles)
Convection moves in
a circular pattern
Examples of Convection
RADIATION
Radiation is the transfer of energy by electromagnetic
waves
Radiation does NOT require matter to transfer thermal
energy
Radiation = Radiates
(heat escaping the sun)
Radiation From Other Sources
Examples of RADIATION
TEMPERATURE
The average kinetic energy among atoms or
molecules.
