Define conduction

Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring molecules.

Conduction is when hot things are likely to explode

Define convection

Convection is heat transfer by mass motion of a fluid such as air or water when the heated fluid is caused to move away from the source of heat, carrying energy with it

Convection is when a wave comes the current dosent flow

Define thermal radiation

Thermal radiation is energy transfer by the emission of electromagnetic waves which carry energy away from the emitting object.
