What is the definition of CONDUCTION?

• When heat is transferred from objects like rays of light or electromagnetically.

• a hot liquid or air that expands, becomes less dense, and rises or becomes more dense, and sinks.

• When heat transfers through the heater or AC in your house.

• When heat transfers from objects that are touching.
