Both terms refer to the transfer of heat between bodies,
1) convection is for liquids and gases. Hot air/water flows upwards, and cold air/water flows downwards. In the process of doing this, both can give off excess heat to colder bodies of air/water/other liquids or gases.
2) conduction is only for solids. If you heat up soup, and left an iron ladle in the boiling soup, after a while, the ladle would be very hot as well, because the heat of the soup is conducted to the lower part of the ladle first, but then the heated part of the lower ladle conducts heat up into the handle of the ladle.
Of course, no one would buy such a horrible kitchenware, and that's why the soup ladles you usually see are insulating metals like aluminum or has a rubber grip (very good insulator)

What are the three forms of heat transfer?
convection conduction and radiation
Energy that is transmitted primarily through solids?
Conduction :)
Does body heat use convection conduction or radiation?
in fact all:) since convection is a kind of conduction, which means heat is transferred via motion of the air surround us, we loose heat by conduction with our clothes, convection from our uncovered skin areas and radiation the same
What are 3 types of heat transfer?
convection conduction radiation
What is a toaster conduction convection or radiation?
convection
What are the three forms of heat transfer?
convection conduction and radiation
What is the same about convection and conduction?
Both are modes of heat transfer
What happens at each layer of the earth?
Conduction, Convection, Conduction,Convection, Conduction, Radiation
Is newt boiling in a hot cauldron convection conduction or radiation?
Conduction
What is the differ of conduction and convection?
conduction by itself is slower to heat but conduction and convection is faster to heat
What are the differences of conduction and convection?
Convection has a cycle of what happens. Conduction dosent have a cycle

What makes convection and conduction possible?
Lack of a flow medium will inhibit conduction and convection.
What are 3 types of heat transfer?
convection conduction radiation
What are some ways that conduction and convection are the same?
They both have to do with the transfer of heat energy.
Is an iron convection radiation or conduction?
convection
