Does heat energy flow indefinitely?
No, heat does not flow indefinitely. Heat stops flowing the temperatures are equal.
What h is a way of transferring energy when things are different temperatures?
In that case, energy will flow quite naturally, as a heat flow. Heat can flow through three methods: conduction, convection, radiation.
What happens in terms of the tranfer of energy as heat when you hold a snowball in your hands?
Heat energy flows from the warmer (the hands in this case) to the cooler (the snowball). The flow of energy first raises the snowball's temperature (outer portion) to approximately zero degrees Celsius. Additional heat flow causes a phase change from snow (a form of ice) to water. This continues until all ice is converted. Further heat flow raises the temperature of any remaining water until it reaches skin temperature, when heat flow will cease.
Is it possible for heat to flow across a vacuum?
Heat needs something to "flow" through. In a vacuum it will not have a medium to travel through and so heat cannot flow across a vacuum. Radiant heat will travel through a vacuum but here it is the light energy that is passing through the vacuum, not the heat energy.
Flow of thermal energy from warmer to cooler substances?
Heat :)
Why does energy flow out of the house?
It is not clear what sort of energy you are talking about. In the case of heat: heat has a natural tendency to flow from hotter objects to colder objects. If your house is hotter than the surroundings, then heat energy will flow out of it.
Does heat energy flow indefinitely?
No, heat does not flow indefinitely. Heat stops flowing the temperatures are equal.
How can energy be carried from one place to another by heat flow and by waves?
heat flow and waves

How does thermal energy always flow?
heat
Is heat the flow thermal energy?
yes it is
Does heat energy occur when heat energy flows from warmer matter to cooler matter?
yes the heat will flow threw, but not create energy
Is heat the flow of thermal energy?
yes or no ______________________________________ yes
When you hold a piece of ice in your handin which direction does heat energy folw?
Heat energy would flow from the hand to the ice, unless the hand is colder than the ice, in which case the heat energy would flow from the ice to the hand.

Energy flow in an ecosystem is not cyclic because energy is?
lost as heat or used
