RadiationRadiation

Radiation is the release of infrared Radiation is the release of infrared radiation by a substance at a higher radiation by a substance at a higher temperature than its surroundings.temperature than its surroundings.

ConvectionConvection

Convection is the movement of particles Convection is the movement of particles from one location to another: cooler, from one location to another: cooler, denser material will sink relative to denser material will sink relative to warmer, less dense material.warmer, less dense material.

Convection is therefore most effective in Convection is therefore most effective in liquids and gases.liquids and gases.
