• Wind moving heat from one place to another

What happens when you touch a hot iron?

• It cools down immediately

• It does not affect the iron

• Heat is conducted from the iron to your hand

• It disappears

What occurs to cold water in the process of convection when boiling water?

• It rises to the top

• It evaporates

• It remains at the bottom

• It sinks

How is convection different from conduction?

• Convection can transfer heat through a vacuum, but conduction cannot.

• Conduction can transfer heat through a vacuum, but convection cannot.

• Convection takes place only in liquid and gases, but conduction transfers heat in solids.

• Convection takes place only in solids, but conduction transfers heat in liquid and gases as well
