Conduction

What type of energy transfer occurs when a student warms her hands by putting them around a hot mug of tea?

• Conduction because energy is transferred by direct contact

• Conduction because energy is transferred by the movement of air or liquid

• convection because energy is transferred by direct contact

• Convection because energy is transferred by the movement of air or liquid
