Question

Use the terms "radiation", "conduction", and "convection" to explain how a pot of water boils.

Answer 1

Answer : Radiation from a fire warms the bottom of a pot. Through conduction, the water inside the pot is warmed. Through it's convection, the hot water rises and the colder water sinks, forming a motion similar to that of a circle.

Explanation: this is correct :)

Answer 2

Materials that conduct heat poorly (wood, styrofoam) are often called insulators. However, materials that conduct heat well (metals, glass, some plastics) have no special name. The simplest conduction heat transfer can be described as “one-dimensional heat flow” as shown in the following figure.
