Radiation
Conduction, convection and radiation. Conduction is when heat is transferred directly between materials. convection occurs when heated materials move from one place to another heating matter along the way. Radiation is when waves of heat move through space.
Transfer of heat by conduction is when transfer of heat occurs through touch. Vibrating atoms come in contact with neighboring atoms transferring some of their energy (heat).
thermal energy
Mechanical waves involve the physical transfer of vibration from one particle to another within the medium. Denser materials (solids and liquids), have closer particles so this transfer of energy occurs more quickly. :)
Earth loses energy to outer space through radiation.
The flow of energy occurs from the sun in photosynthetic organisms. Another examples is a food chain with the flow of energy from through organisms from a producer. The flow of materials describes the movement of materials or components.

fusion
Earth loses energy to outer space through radiation.
electrical energy
This is known as electron-transfer (ET).
convection
during photosynthesis
Energy transfer by convection is primarily restricted to fluids. One of the significant modes of heat transfer is convective heat transfer.
