conduction and convection

• conduction is the process where vibrating particles transfer energy to neighbouring particles
• convection is where energetic particles move away from hotter to cooler regions
• the particles in the part of the object being heated vibrate more and collide with each other. these collisions cause energy to be transferred between particles kinetic energy stores. this is conduction
• conduction mainly occurs in solids
• convection only occurs in gases and liquids
