Answer: insolation is the process of trapping heat in a place like a house.

radiation is the process of emitting electromagnetic waves to heat something up, like the sun is heating up the earth.

conduction is the process of a hot or cold object touching another object which changes the temperature of the other object until both objects are the same temperature like my hand touching the hot stove.

convection is what happens when you mix a liquid or gas with unequal temperatures which results in the hotter liquid or gas being lifted up and the colder liquid or gas going down which eventually transfers their energy to each other until they are of equal temperatures
