What is conduction? What is convection?

• Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact, while convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids.

• Conduction is the transfer of heat through fluids, while convection is the transfer of heat through solids.

• Conduction is the transfer of heat through radiation, while convection is the transfer of heat through sound.

• Conduction and convection are both the transfer of heat through radiation.
