Thermal Energy and States of Matter

Thermal energy transfer where warm fluids rise and cooler fluids sink

• Conduction

• Convection

• Radiation

• Insulation

The change of state from a liquid to a gas that occurs within the liquid (Bubbles in the water)

• Evaporation

• Freezing

• Boiling

• Sublimation

When thermal energy transfers, it always move from

• Cold to Hot

• Thermal energy cannot transfer

• To the smaller object

• Hot to cold
