Convection is the transfer of heat by the actual movement of the warmed matter. Heat leaves the coffee cup as the currents of steam and air rise. Convection is the transfer of heat energy in a gas or liquid by movement of currents. (It can also happen is some solids, like sand.) The heat moves with the fluid. Consider this: convection is responsible for making macaroni rise and fall in a pot of heated water. The warmer portions of the water are less dense and therefore, they rise. Meanwhile, the cooler portions of the water fall because they are denser.
Conduction is the transfer of energy through matter from particle to particle. It is the transfer and distribution of heat energy from atom to atom within a substance. For example, a spoon in a cup of hot soup becomes warmer because the heat from the soup is conducted along the spoon. Conduction is most effective in solids-but it can happen in fluids. Fun fact: Have you ever noticed that metals tend to feel cold? Believe it or not, they are not colder! They only feel colder because they conduct heat away from your hand. You perceive the heat that is leaving your hand as cold.
Radiation: Electromagnetic waves that directly transport ENERGY through space. Sunlight is a form of radiation that is radiated through space to our planet without the aid of fluids or solids. The energy travels through nothingness! Just think of it! The sun transfers heat through 93 million miles of space. Because there are no solids (like a huge spoon) touching the sun and our planet, conduction is not responsible for bringing heat to Earth. Since there are no fluids (like air and water) in space, convection is not responsible for transferring the heat. Thus, radiation brings heat to our planet.

What are the movements of material caused by differences in temperature?
When there are differences in temperature, material moves through conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat through a material. Convection is the movement of fluids due to temperature differences. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.
What are the three forms of heat transfer?
The three forms of heat transfer are conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact of particles, convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids or gases, and radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.
What are 3 types of energy heat transfers?
The three types of heat transfer are conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is the transfer of heat through a material, convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids, and radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.

What are the differences between radiation, conduction, and convection in terms of heat transfer?
Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between objects, and convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids or gases.
