What is the definition of CONDUCTION?

When heat transfers from objects that are touching.

When heat is transferred from objects like rays of light or electromagnetically.

When you are making soup and the water is rising and lowering.

A hair dryer is drying up your hair.

When the AC or heater changes the temperature.

When a car engine turns hot after being turned on.

14. Explain the difference between conduction and convection.

Heat rises for convection and travels thru liquids and gases. Conduction travels thru solids and liquids but must be touching.

Conduction involves heat going in all directions while heat rises with convection.

Heat moves in all directions for convection, but it rises for conduction.

Thermal energy travels thru solids for both conduction and convection; however, conduction involves direct contact.

Which describes what can happen as a result of radiation?

A car’s inside temperature rises to over 100 degrees on a sunny day.
