Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conduction refers specifically to the transfer of heat energy through direct contact between molecules, such as when a hot object is in contact with a colder object and heat is transferred from the hot to cold object through direct contact. It does not refer to the movement of air in the atmosphere or the behavior of something.
