Question

the four principal ways heat is transferred from one place to another are conduction, convection, advection and radiation.

• conduction is the transfer of heat between objects whose surfaces are in contact with each other.
• convection is the transfer of heat in liquids or gases by currents within the liquids or gases.
• advection is the transfer of a property of the atmosphere, such as heat, cold, or humidity, by the horizontal movement of an air - mass: todays temperatures were higher due to the advection of warm air into the region.
• radiation is the transfer of heat by radiant waves.
• the rate at which the earths surface is heated by solar radiation is called insolation.
• radiation transfers heat energy without changing the temperature of anything between the source of energy and the object heated.
