• conduction, convection, and radiation

• temperature, heat, density

Heat transfer by conduction happens when:

• there is a circulation of hot air/water rising and cold air/water sinking

• there is space that heat travels through in waves outwardly

• two objects are touching and heat moves from one object into the next object

A hot air balloon rising and falling as the balloon's air is heated or cooled is an example of which type of energy transfer?

• radiation

• convection

• conduction
