Cycle two:week 10

What is the main difference between convection,conduction,and radiation?

The main difference between conduction convection, and radiation is the its transferred.Convection is transferred only when you are touching the object that is hot.For example,when you touch a hot pan or pot that is conduction.Convection is transffered when heat circulates.For example when you are in a pool and the water is warm at the top,but cold at the bottom that is convection.Radiation is transffered when you stand near somethig hot and even though your not touching it you can still feel the heat.For example,when you stand near a fire you can still feel the heat from it.

  1. I like how you gave examples and explained how conduction, radiation, and convection were different.
