Heat is transferred from one particle of matter to another without the movement of matter itself in a process called: 

• conduction
• convection
• radiation
• insulation

Heat transfer occurs: 

• in many directions.
• both from warm objects to colder ones and from cold objects to warmer ones. 
• only from warm objects to colder ones. 
• only from cold objects to warmer ones.
