Can anybody give me examples of conduction, convection, advection, and radiation?
Yes: an example of conduction is when you touch a hot pan on the oven. The direct contact between your hand and the pan is conduction, you burn your skin. Metal are better conductors than wood, for example. Convection is why the in the refrigerator the vegetables drawers are at the bottom. They need less cold/chilli air,so air goes out from the upper part of the fridge, as it is cold goes down (is heavier), then it warms at the bottom and as it is hot again it is lighter and goes up. That why the air conditioners are also on the upper part of a room, and why the heaters are in the down part. The best example of radiation is the sun. It heats through waves instead of direct contact. The heaters and calefaction systems are other examples.
