Q
  • through liquid
  • the process in which heat is carried from one place to another by bulk movement of a fluid
  • ex: tectonic plates; weather; ocean currents; lava lamp
  • energy carried by material; contact is not needed

Q
  • through material; no transfer of matter (only energy)
  • the process whereby heat is transferred directly through a material, with any bulk motion of the material playing no role in the transfer
  • ex: soldering, welding, grilling
