Read this information. You will need it.
Thermal energy can transfer in 3 different ways:
- Convection
- Conduction
- Radiation
Convection is the movement of thermal energy that occurs due to the movement of warm liquids or gases. In Earth's mantle, magma closer to the hot core gets very hot. Its particles vibrate very quickly and it becomes less dense. As a result of becoming less dense, this hot magma rises. Magma close to the surface cools, it becomes more dense and sinks. This creates a convection current. Earth's plates are moved due to these powerful convection currents! The rise of hot magma is convection because thermal energy is traveling up with the magma.
CONVECTION
Remember- Volcanoes are a result of conVection.

Hippos spend most of the day in the water to keep their skin moist and stay cool. Thermal energy travels from the hippos directly into the water. This kind of heat transfer is conduction. Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object that it is touching. In this example, the hippos are warmer than the water, so thermal energy travels from the hippos into the water.
