Back

The heat transfers from the stove to your hand.

Front

What is convection in terms of heat transfer?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases).

Front

In which of the following materials can convection occur?

Front

How does conduction occur at the molecular level?

Back

Conduction occurs when molecules collide and transfer energy through direct contact.

Front

What role does convection play in weather patterns?

Back

Convection helps distribute heat in the atmosphere, influencing weather patterns.
