DESCRIPTION
Convection Transfer of E by the movement of matter Transfer of E by the movement of matter Liquids and gases can flow, so their particles can move from one place to another, carrying E with them Liquids and gases can flow, so their particles can move from one place to another, carrying E with them When heating a liquid a convection current forms, rises, then cools and sinks When heating a liquid a convection current forms, rises, then cools and sinks

ConductionConduction Transfer of thermal Transfer of thermal energy (TE) by energy (TE) by collisions between the collisions between the particles in matterparticles in matter
Kinetic energy is Kinetic energy is transferred when faster transferred when faster moving particles bump moving particles bump into slower moving into slower moving particlesparticles
This can happen in This can happen in solids, liquids and solids, liquids and gases, but since solid’s gases, but since solid’s particles are closer particles are closer together, solids are together, solids are able to conduct heat able to conduct heat better than liquids and better than liquids and gasesgases
