Conduction allows energy to travel through a medium. Some of its practical uses are making electricity flow in wires, cooking food, telephone conversations and conducting heat through the atmosphere to warm the earth.
Another Answer
Further to the original answer, energy doesn't travel through wires. A conductor allows the drift of current.

The primary agent of contact metamorphism is heat. Pressure and chemically active fluids are also very important in this process.
What is earth conduction?
Conduction - in which a body's temperature is raised in one place and heat flows to cooler areas by diffusion as the molecules in the body vibrate more vigorously. No material is transported by conduction, only heat. Heat is transported by conduction in the crust where the material is rigid and cannot flow, and the temperature gradient is high. Conduction is very efficient in some materials like metals, and inefficient in others like air. Inefficient conductors are called insulators. ----
Which matarial is used for light conduction?
Fiberglass is used for light conduction.
How can conduction be helpful?
Conduction can cause a spark which can light a light bulb. Conduction can be used to heat up metals.
Are washing machines radiation convection or conduction?
It is used for CONDUCTION because conduction is when the two materials are touching and in the instance of ironing something they are touching so it is CONDUCTION :))))
