The increased heat sends a nerve impulse from the burning area to the spine. Here the somatosensory neurone (the one conveying the heat) activates a motor neurone (one which initiates movement). This motor neurone sends an impulse to the muscle controlling the hand, making the muscle contract and making the hand move away from the heat source.
At the same time, the somatosensory neurone also sends a message to the brain, which is percieved as pain (hence why burning yourself hurts).
Inflammation may occur in the burnt tissue as a response, increasing fluid levels in the damaged tissue, producing a blister. This helps the damaged tissue to heal.
The actual mechanisms of these events are ridiculously complex, this is a simplified version.
A dark, dry surface such as asphalt or rock would transfer the most thermal energy to the air above it because it absorbs and retains heat from the sun more effectively than lighter or moist surfaces.
Depends on the type of rock. The thermal conductivity of most rocks range from 1 to 5 W/mK. (watt per meter kelvin) Compared to other things: Copper, a good conductor, its +-390 W/mK . PUR foam, a good insulator, its +-0,03 W/mK . So to answer your question: heat goes through rock, but not rapidly.
A lamp that is turned on would be expected to emit more thermal radiation than a rock at room temperature. The lamp is designed to produce light and heat energy, whereas the rock passively absorbs and radiates thermal energy from its surroundings.
When a rock is exposed to sunlight, the sunlight's energy is absorbed by the rock and converted into heat energy. This process occurs through the rock absorbing the sunlight's electromagnetic radiation and converting it into thermal energy, which can then be transferred throughout the rock through conduction.
A thermal energy diagram, also known as a heat flow diagram, illustrates how heat energy flows through a material like rock, showing the temperature changes and distribution within the material. It demonstrates how heat affects the rock by indicating areas of heat gains and losses, as well as the distribution of thermal energy within the rock material.
Heat transfers from a rock to an animal through conduction. When the animal comes in contact with the rock, the heat energy from the rock moves to the animal through direct contact. The rate of heat transfer depends on factors like the temperature difference between the rock and the animal, the thermal conductivity of the rock, and the duration of contact.

Thermal energy (heat) and pressure or stress (which is also a form of internal energy of a system and is a form of potential energy).

Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy
When a rock is exposed to sunlight, the sunlight's energy is absorbed by the rock and converted into heat energy. This process occurs through the rock absorbing the sunlight's electromagnetic radiation and converting it into thermal energy, which can then be transferred throughout the rock through conduction.
No, rock is not an insulator. It is a natural material with varying thermal conductivity depending on its composition. Some types of rock, such as granite, have relatively high thermal conductivity, meaning they can transfer heat more easily than insulating materials.
