Is thermal conduction the same as conduction?

Yes, thermal conduction and conduction are often used interchangeably. Thermal conduction specifically refers to the transfer of heat through a material due to a temperature difference.


What is the definition of thermal conduction?

Thermal conduction is the transfer of heat through a material by the collision of molecules. It occurs in solids, liquids, and gases and is governed by the material's thermal conductivity and temperature difference.


Would one of these produces or transfers heat light or conduction or friction or all of these?

Friction produces heat by converting mechanical energy into thermal energy. Light is produced by sources such as the sun or light bulbs. Conduction transfers heat through direct contact between materials. So, friction produces heat, light is emitted, and conduction transfers heat.


What is The Type Of Energy Produced By Friction?

The type of energy produced by friction is thermal energy. When objects rub against each other, the friction generates heat due to the resistance between the surfaces.


How is thermal energy in earths atmosphere transfered by conduction?

The main method of thermal transference in the atmosphere is convection, conduction would only account for a fraction. Conduction works via hotter molecules transferring their energy to cooler molecules via the friction of collisions between molecules. As air has a very low molecular density conduction is poor therefore most atmospheric models will ignore it.

What type of thermal energy transfer requires that objects touch?

There are different types of thermal energy like conduction, convection, and radiation. But the one that requires objects to touch is conduction.
