Conduction and convection Flashcards
1
Q
What state does conduction mainly occur in?
A
Solids
2
Q
How is energy transferred through conduction?
A
Vibrating particles transfer energy to neighbouring particles
3
Q
What states does convection mainly occur in?
A
Liquids and gases
4
Q

A
Energetic particles move away from hotter to colder regions (this is because warm regions are less dense -water vapour is less dense than water).
