One type of energy transfer is Convection

Convection is energy transfer through the movement of fluids at different temperatures
***Example- is a camp fire.

Another type of energy transfer is Conduction

Conduction is heat between particles in direct contact
***Example- a spoon in a cup of hot soup becomes warmer because the heat from the soup is conducted along the spoon

Another type of energy transfer is  Electromagnetic waves that directly transport ENERGY through space

***Example***-sunlight.
