Tina is boiling water in a metal pot for a weather experiment. What is most likely the reason she would need to use a potholder for moving the metal pot?​

because through the process of convection and conduction, the heat is transferred from the water to the metal handle. convection is the movement of heat through fluid, conduction is heat moving to the handle.
