What are three ways thermal energy can move?
3 ways thermal energy moves is by radiation, convection and conduction
Where do molecules move when thermal energy is lost?
It can be transferred somewhere else via one of the three methods of heat transfer: convection, conduction, or radiation.
Does the transfer of thermal energy by conduction and convection require matter?
yes both require the use of matter. conduction is basically passing heat from one particle to the next. convertion is heating a cold fluid and the hot particles move, allowing more cold particles to take their place and be heated. Hot air from a radiator raises, cold air moves in to take its place and is heated etc.
Why do particles of matter transfer thermal energy?
Matter is needed to transfer thermal energy by conduction and convection. Conduction happens through a substance when there is a difference in thermal energies between regions. Convection is the movement within a fluid caused by hotter material to rise and colder material to sink and transfer heat.
What happens to particles during the process of convection?
The particles move around from one place to another through the flow of thermal energy during convection.

How does thermal energy move from one object to another?
Through one of three means: conduction, convection, radiation.
Does thermal energy move to a place of higher thermal energy?
No

How does thermal energy move through the air in a room?
All forms of energy can be transformed into thermal energy
What is the process of thermal energy to kinnetic energy to electrical energy?
that move.
If you slide a crate across the floor kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy as it comes to rest. Why will adding thermal energy to a stationary crate not cause it to move?
# cos nothing is converting it to kinetic energy # if you add enough thermal energy the box will burn and "move" :)
What happens to particles during the process of convection?
The particles move around from one place to another through the flow of thermal energy during convection.
What happens is energy is taken away from matter?
When thermal energy is taken away from matter particles move more slowly. When thermal energy is added to matter particles move faster.
How does most thermal energy in the atmosphere move?
convection
