Conduction, Convection & Radiation

What is the definition of CONVECTION

• When heat transfers through waves.
• When heat transfers from objects that are touching.
• a  hot liquid or air that  expands, becomes less dense, and rises or becomes more dense, and sinks.
• Heat traveling from the sun

Walking on the warm sand sand with your bare feet demonstrates this type of heat transfer. 

• conduction
• convection
• radiation

Which is an example of conduction?

• Steam is rising from a cup of hot coffee.
• A hot biscuit is warming the plate it is on.
• The sun is shining through a window and warming a table.

Radiation is when energy is transferred...

• by contact
• by flow of fluid in liquid or gas
• by waves or rays
• this is not an energy-transfer process
