The energy transferred between two objects of different temperatures; energy will continue to move in a predictable pattern from warmer site to cooler site until all sites have reached the same temperature. This is called simply

• convection

• temperature

• heat

• energy transfer

A cyclical motion occurs because the density of a fluid is related to its temperature. Heated lower regions of the fluid are less dense than their cooler counterparts. The less dense fluid rises and the denser fluid sinks due to gravity. The combined motions form a circular pattern.

• Law of Conservation Energy

• climate

• atmospheric pressure

• convection current

The transfer of energy by electromagnetic rays; may occur in empty space; matter need not be in direct contact or be present for the transfer of energy to occur.

• conduction

• convection

• radiation

• conversion

The Law of Conservation of Energy states:

• A form of energy can be transferred between systems by virtue of a difference in temperature.

• The strength or rate of movement of electricity is measured in amperes.

• Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; energy just changes form.

• Energy and zombies can never die.
