Answer:
Conduction occurs in solid whereas convection occurs in fluids.
Explanation:
<u>Conduction</u>
1. Conduction is a process of transfer of heat energy by direct contact.
2. It occurs in solids through molecular collisions of matter.
3. Conduction is due to temperature difference in the body.
4. It is a slow process.
5. Conduction process needs matter for heat transfer but does not require bulk motion of matter.
6. The rate of heat transfer in conduction is governed by Fourier's Law of Conduction.
<u>Convection</u>
1. Convection is a process of heat energy transfer by actual motion of matter.
2. It occurs in fluids by actual flow of matter.
3.Convection is due to density difference.
4. Convection is also a slow process.
5. It does not require any bulk transport of matter.
6. The rate of heat transfer is governed by Newton's Law of Cooling.
