Step-by-step explanation:

Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact. Convection is the transfer of thermal energy through the movement of a liquid or gas. Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy through thermal emission.

Answer:

Convection is a transfer of thermal energy through fluids such as water and air, it functions because of a convection current. An example of this could be a pot of boiling water. Conduction is transfer of thermal energy through objects. There are some things that conduct the energy faster, and others slower(insulators). An example of this could be cookies baking in an oven.

Hope this helps, have a nice night! (^-^)
