Heat is a measure of the (average) speed of the molecules within any material.
If you add heat then the local speed increases ... but each time a molecule collides with another one then the faster one slows and the slower one speeds up (on average), thus the heat (energy) spreads - this is conduction.

Is the the human tissue a conductor or conduction?
It is a conductor. Conduction is the process which occurs when electricity flows through a conductor.
When does the conduction occurs too?
Conduction is the transferring of heat from one substance to another. Therefore, conduction usually occurs when one hot object comes into contact with another object that is not as hot.
Which occurs if two object at different temperatures are in contact?
conduction occurs...
What is the difference between conduction and convection a 5th grade answer please?
Conduction occurs in solids and liquids but not gases. Convection occurs in gases and liquids.
What type of nervous system conduction occurs in myelinated axons?
Saltatory Conduction
Does saltatory conduction only occur in CNS?
Saltory conduction only occurs in the myelinated axons.
What occurs in mercury of a thermometer convection or conduction?
convection
How is energy transferred when objects are in objects?
conduction occurs
Occurs when heat moves from solid to solid?
Conduction
How is energy transferred when object are in contact?
conduction occurs
Describe the process of condensation When does condensation occur?
It occurs when a gas changes into a liquid. Heat is given off.
What is a type of heat transfer that occurs best with solids?
conduction
