Front

Define conduction in the context of heat transfer.

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials.

Front

What is convection and how does it differ from conduction?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases), while conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact.
