By means of the atomic vibrations about their mean position.
That means that heat is transferred from one part to another.
Those are three different means by which heat can travel. In convection, heat is carried by moving matter. In conduction, heat is transferred by means of a physical contact between two objects of different temperature. With radiation, energy is emitted in the form of electromagnetic radiation, usually in the infrared spectrum.
Covection is one of the three methods of heat transfer, others are conduction and radiation. Steps of convection of heat are: (i) Molecules of medium gains energy, (ii) This gain in energy makes them more vibrating thus the distance between molecules increases making the local volume of medium more lighter i.e. less denser. (iii) this volume being less denser is displaced by the volume of medium which is denser (i.e. cooler). (iv) Thus the heat is transferred in form of medium itself from hot to cool area. THIS IS CONVECTION. Ex. Boiling of water,
in fact all:) since convection is a kind of conduction, which means heat is transferred via motion of the air surround us, we loose heat by conduction with our clothes, convection from our uncovered skin areas and radiation the same
Heat conduction, by means of particle collisions transferring energy.
The atmosphere exchanges gases by means of convection, radiation, and conduction. This is how energy is transferred between the Earth and the atmosphere.

Conduction of heat is possible only in case of solids. In solids the atoms have been arranged in array forming lattice pattern. They are held up by metallic bonds. So heat conduction means the vibrational energy is transported from one atom or molecule to the other. But in case of fluids, ie both liquids and gases, there are no such bondage of atoms or molecules. So conduction is not possible, but convection becomes possible as the molecules or atoms they transfer the heat energy by transitory motion.
Conduction
That means that heat is transferred from one part to another.

In conduction, heat is transferred by means of a physical contact between two objects of different temperature. With radiation, energy is emitted in the form of electromagnetic radiation, usually in the infrared spectrum.
Heat conduction means that as heat is moved from one rock to another, it moves around in a circle, building up heat the longer it sits. It must be getting a continuous stream of energy, or it will end up cooling off. Or... Conduction takes place when heat is transferred that is a simple answer.
It means conversion of energy from one form to another.Energy can be easily transferred.
