A student is investigating the best method for heating marshmallow using an open flame. The student quickly discovers placing the marshmallow over the flame is more effective than heating the marshmallow on the side of the flame.

According to this information, what type of heat transfer is present when the marshmallow is above the fire that is not present when the marshmallow is on the side of the fire?

• Conduction

• Convection​

• Entropy

• Radiation
