Electromagnetic radiation can travel through a vacuum (like the vacuum of space), while conduction and convection require matter to do their thing.

What processes of heat transfer are affected with thermos flasks?
Conduction, convection and heat radiation.
Do adiabatic processes cause cooling by radiation or conduction or convection or insertion or decompression?
Decompression! Says my Physics Major Husband.(Are you in Mr. Fye's physical geography class, by any chance?)
What 2 processes transport Earths energy surpluses poleward from the tropics?
Wind and water. Air currents (wind) carry heat poleward. This is mainly heat transfer by convection. Water currents carry heat poleward. This is heat transfer by convection and conduction.
What two processes does convection produse?
it processes a substance called mantle
What process is a method of heat transfer but it does not contribute to the moving heat energy in and around the earth?
There are three means of heat transfer, Convection, conduction, and radiation. All three occur to some degree in all heat transfer processes.
What are the three processes that transport energy?
It is radiation, convection, and conduction
What are the 3 processes to transfer heat?
conduction convection radiation
What are the three processes of heat transfer?
The three methods of heat transfer are: (1) Conduction - particles bump into other particles, transferring energy. (2) Convection - moving masses carry heat with them. Especially, hot air (for example) tends to rise up, because of its lower density - the heat difference itself causes the currents. (3) Radiation. Objects radiate electromagnetic radiation, depending on their temperature. (The amount of energy radiated increases quickly at higher temperatures.)
What processes of heat transfer are affected with thermos flasks?
Conduction, convection and heat radiation.
What three processes transfer heat over earths surface?
Convection, radiation, and conduction
Which process transfers thermal energy by contact?
This proess is called conduction. The other processes are convection and radiation. Convection is the transfer of energy through movement, such as boiling water. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy through a medium or space, such as the sun heating the earth.
Is a heater a conduction or convection?
Heater Is neither Conduction nor Convection... The Questions seems to be wrong... If you ask Whether the heat given by a heater is lost by conduction or Convection, then the answer is: YES! In a heater the heat is lost by all three processes namely Conduction , Convection and Radiation.
When you get cold while your swimming does your body lose heat from conduction convection radiation or reflction?
"Reflction" (I assume you mean "reflection") isn't really a way to lose heat. Convection is really only important within a body; it's largely irrelevant when talking about heat transfer from one distinct body (you) to another (the water). There may well be convection in the water, but that has only a secondary impact on you and how cold you are.That leaves radiation and conduction. Both of these processes are going on, but of the two, conduction is by far the more significant in this particular case.
How do conduction convection and radiation causes thermal energy?
None of those processes causes or produces thermal energy. Each of them moves thermal energy from one place to another.
Do adiabatic processes cause cooling by radiation or conduction or convection or insertion or decompression?

What natural processes are affected by conduction?
