Things heat up by conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is when something cold, like a spoon, is physically touching something hot, like warm tea. Convection happens by currents of some sort, like wind or the ocean, when the heat gets spread around. Radiation is like the Sun, or light, or microwaves and x-rays.

What energy transformations occur if final form of the energy is Heat from an electric stove?
So is the "heat" radiant heat, an electromagnetic wave? (Heat is used to mean many things.) Electricity gets turned into the electromagnetic infrared (heat).
The form of energy related to the change of the state of water?
The energy which must be transferred to or from a sample of water in order to change it's state is called the Latent Energy or Latent Heat - for example Latent Heat of Evaporation or Latent Heat of Freezing.
What are some energys name some?
Thermal Engergy: Heat engergy. Things get hotter when molecules heat up. Mechanical Engergy: This energy is in moving things.
What substance was found not to be an element in 1808?
The secret substance is: Heat energy.
What must be absorbed for a solid to melt?
They must gather close together until they can't bunch anymore and then they start to melt because they ran out of space.
Can energy be transferred to heat things?
All kinds of energy can be used to heat things either directly or indirectly. Solar energy can be used to heat things directly. water fall energy or wind energy can be used to heat things through electricity production that in its turn can heat things.
What kind of things have thermal energy?
Most things have thermal energy. Thermal energy is comes from heat and therefore anything that can generate heat has thermal energy. All living things have thermal energy.
What do heat do?
Heat is a form of energy that makes things hot.
What is heat and how is heat produced?
Heat is a form of energy that makes things hot.
Why do things with higher densities have higher heat capacities?
Materials with higher densities have more mass that must be put into motion. Therefore it requires more energy to heat them up.
What is heat energy needed for?
HEATING THINGS! Peace out. :)
What 2 things does the sun produce?
Heat and Energy
What must be added in order for the petroleum to separate into its fraction?
Energy, in the form of heat, must.
What must change in condensation heat energy or temperature?
temperature
What is the form of energy that makes things warmer?
Heat from the sun.
What things are solar energy used for?
Electrical power and heat.
What must be true for water to change temperture?
Energy in the form of heat must be added to the water.
