| heat | the movement of thermal energy from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature |
| conduction | the transfer of thermal energy by collisions between particles in matter |
| radiation | the transfer of thermal energy by electromagnetic waves |
| convection | the transfer of thermal energy by the movement of the particles from one part of a material to another |
