| Convection | the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat. |
| Evaporation | Evaporation is the process of a substance in a liquid state changing to a gaseous state due to an increase in temperature and/or pressure. |
| Conduction | Conduction is the process by which heat energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring molecules. |
| Precipitation | rain, snow, sleet, or hail that falls to the ground. |
