Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heat convection is the transfer of heat through a fluid or gas, in this case, the air in the cabin. The heated air rises and circulates, causing the entire cabin to become heated. Heat conduction involves the transfer of heat through a solid material, such as from the stove to the surrounding walls or floor. Heat radiation involves the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, such as from the sun to the earth. Thermal expansion involves the expansion of a material due to an increase in temperature.
