Heat can be transferred through liquids and gases by means of conduction as well as conduction.
The difference is that convection is not possible in solids.
During conduction, heat is transferred due to the vibration of the molecules. A molecule at a higher temperature has more energy, and hence vibrates faster. It collides with other atoms and passes energy onto it. The chain continues and heat is transferred without any appreciable movement of molecules.
In convection, the hotter particles move around in the fluid, transferring energy to the colder molecules. For example, when heating water in a vessel on a stove, the water at the bottom is heated first. It rises to the top and the cooler water flows down to be heated. This continues and heat is transferred throughout the fluid. Heat is transferred with the movement of molecules.

The heat transfer caused when heated liquids or gases rise is called?
convection
The transfer of heat from one thing to another by direct physical contact?
Conduction is the transfer of heat throgh solid objects in direct contact. The other two types of heat transfer are convection (through liquids and gases) and radiation (through gases and a vacuum).
Differentiate the three methods of heat transfer?
Convection, radiation, and conduction are the 3 types of heat transfer... Compare They all transfer heat from a hotter mass to a cooler mass. Contrast Conduction transfers heat through solids. Convection transfers heat through liquids and gases. Radiation transfers heat through electromagnetic waves.
What is the uses of pipettes?
Pipettes are used for measuring and transferring small amounts of liquids in an experiment.
Transfer of heat by hot liquids and gases?
Convection is the transfer with in the fluid. If a container of hot liquid is touching something then it is conduction. If the heat is travelling through the air then it is radiation.
Can waves transfer energy through liquids and solids but not through gases or empty space?
Some waves can transfer energy only through liquids and solids, but not through gases or vacuum. Some waves, like sound waves, can transfer energy through gases, liquids and solids but not through vacuum. And some waves, notably electromagnetic waves, can transfer energy through vacuum as well as matter.
The heat transfer caused when heated liquids or gases rise is called?
convection
What method heat transfer can take place through solids liquids gases?
Convection
Heat transfer that takes place as a result of currents in liquids and gases is called?
Convection
What type of heat transfer involves the movement of liquids or gases?
That's called "convection".
What is heat transfer through gases called?
convection
What is the natural spreading particles through liquids and gases called?
Diffusion
Which substances can heat travel through by convection?
Fluids, aka liquids and gases.
How can heat transfer in liquids and gases be reduced?
Insulation will reduce heat transfer.
When heat energy is transmitted primarily through liquids and gases its called?
Convection A+ :)
What is the transfer of heat by the movement of fluids -liquids and gases?
Convection
Does radiation travel through solids liquids or gases?
Gases, then liquids, then solids.Good luck : )
