Convection I think - the pan will conduct the heat, as it is a solid, but mostly in liquids and gases this doestn work as well as the particles are further away so convection is normally how it is heated.

Which process transfers thermal energy by contact?

This proess is called conduction. The other processes are convection and radiation. Convection is the transfer of energy through movement, such as boiling water. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy through a medium or space, such as the sun heating the earth.


How does energy travel to Earth?

There are three types of transferrable energy: conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction- heat that moves from solid object to solid object by physical means. Convection- heat that moves about a gaseous object (think about boiling water) Radiation- light energy that can travel through space and needs no object to transfer through. The correct answer for this question would be radiation.


What are three ways heat move?

Conduction, Convection and Radiation For example, for conduction you can use a boiling pot of water. For convection you can use a blender. For radiation you can use the sun or another one is your cell phone.


Is a pan over a flame radiation or conduction?

Both the flame heating the pan and the pan heating the water are examples of conduction. Convection is when the molecules of water heat other molecules of water.


What are three ways heat can travel?

Conduction (through e.g. solid materials like metals that allow heat through - like a saucepan base) It is transformed into another object by touchConvection - in liquids and gases. Hot substances expand and so are less dense than cold substances. These less dense liquids and gases rise and cool ones fall forming a current. as an example, convector heaters in your home, the Gulf Stream that brings warm water from the Caribbean to Europe.Radiation - the method by which energy is transferred through a vacuum e.g. in the infra red heat energy from the sun as it travels across the vacuum of space.radiation, convection and conduction.


Convection and radiation?

the process by which heat is transfered by the movement of molecules in liquids and gases is known as convection...eg-boiling of water


How is heat tranffered from the stove to the water when you boil a pot of water?

Essentially by conduction and in small part by radiation and convection.


How is heat lost through water?

Heat is lost by all things through convection, conduction and radiation.


Before the water in the pot can heat up the pot itslef must heat up does the pot heat up by conduction convection or radiation?

Conduction.


What are the three different ways that thermal energy is transferred?

the process whereby heat moves from one body or substance to another by radiation, conduction, convection, or a combination of these methods. Heat transfer flows from a body with high energy (higher temperature) to lower energy (lower temperature).


Which two forms of heat transfer or work together to heat water in a plastic bottle?
