Define conduction and convection
Dear Student
Conduction: The transfer of heat from one substance to another by direct contact is called conduction. Denser substances are better conductors; the transfer is always from warmer to colder substances.
Example:
touching a stove and being burned
ice cooling down your hand
boiling water by thrusting a red-hot piece of iron into it
Convection: Convection is the transfer of energy with movement of molecules within fluids (i.e. liquids, gases). It cannot take place in solids.
Example
heat transfer by a circulation of rising warm air (less dense) and sinking cooler air (denser).
Hot air rises the more dense air sinks forcing the less dense air upward
