What is conduction?

Back

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

Front

What is convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat by the movement of fluids, where warmer areas rise and cooler areas sink.

Front

What is radiation?

Back

Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, which can occur in a vacuum.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy as temperature increases?

Back

As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of particles in a substance also increases.
