Heat is normally transferred to specific areas by means of a 'heat sink' which is usually made of a material with low resistance and high transfer of heat. An example of this can be seen in most computers, the heat sink collects the heat from the processor, and there is (usually) a fan which is near or on the heatsink to remove it from the heat sink, effectively lowering the temperature of the processor.
Heat can be transferred to areas through three main methods: conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction is when heat transfers through direct contact between materials. Convection is when heat is transferred through the movement of fluids like air or water. Radiation is when heat is transferred through electromagnetic waves.

What is it called when electricity is tranferred into the ground?
Earthing
Does heat move from areas of high temperatures to areas of low temperatures?
Yes, heat moves from areas of high temperature to areas of low temperature in a process known as heat transfer. This is a fundamental principle in thermodynamics that drives the flow of energy in the form of heat.
Why do inland areas have more extreme temperatures ranges then coastal areas?
Inland areas have a greater temperature range because water has a high specific heat. Basically, coastal areas heat and cool slowly because it takes a long time for the water to heat up and cool down (due to it having such a large specific heat).
How is heat carried from areas of energy surplus to areas of energy deficit?
Heat is carried through conduction, convection, and radiation. In conduction, heat is transferred through direct contact between materials. Convection involves the movement of fluids to transport heat. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves.
Which property of water explains why coastal area of land have more constant temperature than inland areas?
The high specific heat capacity of water explains why coastal areas have more constant temperatures than inland areas. Water has the ability to absorb and retain heat more effectively than land, resulting in a moderating effect on temperatures in coastal regions. This phenomenon is known as the maritime effect or oceanic influence.
Heat is tranferred by conduction when?
Conduction is tranferred by 2 object touching or getting close to eachother
Heat can be tranferred by?
conduction convection and radation
How do you transfer heat energy?
heat can be tranferred through, conduction, convection or radiation
Is heat tranferred to human body during x raywhich form of heat transfer it is?
radiation
If heat energy is tranferred away from an object what will the object feel?
radiation
How do you transfer energy?
heat can be tranferred through, conduction, convection or radiation
How is energy tranferred between objects?
they have to go throw the atoms and then they go out throw the heat
When heat tranfers by conduction?
Conduction is tranferred by 2 object touching or getting close to eachother
How is heat from inside the earth tranferred to its crust?
Through heated rocks (commonly known as lava) in the mantle which rise to the surface gradually.
What is heat tranferred across empty space called?
Heat transferred across empty space is called radiation. Radiation does not require a medium to transport heat and can travel through a vacuum. It is how energy from the sun reaches the Earth.
Is heat tranferred to human body during x ray?
Yes. X-rays have energy, and any x-rays absorbed by the human body would be converted to heat. Or most of that energy would be converted to heat, at any rate.
How was thermal energy tranferred to the kitchen?
by the air
