Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Convection is the heat transfer that occurs through the movement of a fluid, driven by temperature differences among various points within the fluid. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, while conduction is heat transfer due to direct contact between two materials. Adhesion is the attraction between the surfaces of different materials.
