HOW IS HEAT TRANSFERRED?

  • heat

    • constantly being transferred around the earth’s surface

  • heat transfer

    • the movement of heat from a warmer object to a cooler object

  • THERE ARE THREE TYPES OF HEAT TRANSFER…RADIATION< CONVECTION, AND CONDUCTION

  • radiation

    • the transfer of energy that is carried in rays

  • convection

    • heat tranfer by the movement
