| q | Conduction is the process of heat |

| transfer from molecule to molecule. |
||||||||||
| q | This energy transfer process |
|||||||||
| requires contact. |

| q | Air is a poor conductor. (with low |

| thermal conductivity) |
||||||||||
| q | Conduction is not an efficient |
|||||||||
| mechanisms to transfer heat in the |

| atmosphere on large spatial scales. |
