Front

What are the three main ways heat transfers?

Back

Conduction, Convection, Radiation.

Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials.

Front

What is convection?

Back

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

Front

What is radiation?

Back

Radiation is the transfer of heat in the form of electromagnetic waves, such as sunlight.

Front

What happens to the temperature of a substance when it absorbs heat?

Back

The temperature increases.
