Answer 1

The process of heating, which takes place when the bodies are in physical contact with each other, is called conduction.

Explanation:

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between bodies. Heat flows from a hotter body to a cooler one without the movement of the substance itself, only by molecular interaction at the contact. For example, the Earth’s surface heats the air in contact with it by conduction.
