What is the transfer of thermal energy though direct contact of particles?
It is called conduction.
What do you call the transfer of thermal enegry from particles bumping into each other?
That would be a description of heat transfer by conduction.
Why do particles of matter transfer thermal energy?
Matter is needed to transfer thermal energy by conduction and convection. Conduction happens through a substance when there is a difference in thermal energies between regions. Convection is the movement within a fluid caused by hotter material to rise and colder material to sink and transfer heat.
What is the direct transfer of thermal energy between 2 objects that touch?
conduction
What is the definition of thermal conduction?
The definition of thermal conduction is heat transfer. Thermal conduction is when heat is transferred from one source to another.
What transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles in matter?
Convection
Why is vacuum the best thermal insulator?
Heat travels in 3 ways. Conduction, convection and radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat through collision of particles. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movements of particles (ie. hot particle rises, cold particle sinks). Vacuum is made up of nothing (when there is no particle, it is vacuum), and so, it is unable to transfer heat through conduction and convection at all, making it the best thermal insulator
What are three ways conduction affects our natural environment?
Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through a substance or between substances in contact, by the collision
What thermal transfer does loft insulation reduce?
conduction
Transfer of thermal energy through contact?
conduction
How does hurricanes transfer thermal energy?
conduction and convection
Is thermal energy transferred through conduction convection or radiation?
thermal energy can transfer through conduction, convention and radiation
