What is convection?

Back

The transfer of heat through the movement of liquids and gases.

Front

What is radiation?

Back

What is an example of convection?

Back

Boiling water where hot water rises and cooler water sinks.

Front

What is an example of radiation?

Back

Feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin.

Front

What is the role of temperature in heat transfer?

Back

Heat moves from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature.

Front

What is saturation in the context of heat transfer?

Back

Saturation is not a method of heat transfer; it refers to a state where a substance cannot hold more of a substance, like water vapor in the air.
