HEAT TRANSFER…
can be accomplished through four means:
(1) Conduction:  fast-moving molecules of substance 1
collide with neighboring molecules of substance 2,
which are moving more slowly.  This forces the
molecules of substance 2 to speed up.  Substance
2 becomes hotter as a result of its physical contact
with substance 1.  This form of heat transfer often
occurs between the atmosphere and the earth’s
surface and is also known as sensible heat flux.
