This document discusses temperature scales and heat transfer. It defines Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin scales, and provides their reference points for water. Conduction is defined as heat transfer through solids, while convection involves heat transfer through liquids or gases. Common applications of conduction include cooking vessels, mercury and soldering. Convection occurs via wind, sea breezes and land breezes. The bases of cooking utensils are made black because black surfaces strongly absorb heat via conduction.
