*[[Convection]] - [[Fluid]] at high [[temperature]] is less [[Density|dense]] than [[fluid]] at low [[temperature]] so the high [[temperature]] [[fluid]] rises and the low [[temperature]] [[fluid]] sinks.
*[[Thermal Radiation]] - Objects can [[emit]] and [[Absorb (Physics)|absorb]] [[Thermal Radiation]]. The higher the [[temperature]] the more [[Thermal Radiation]] they [[emit]].

===Meaning===
'''Heating''' is a way of [[Energy Transfer|transferring energy]] from one [[Energy Store]] into another through [[Thermal Conduction|Conduction]], [[Convection]] or [[Thermal Radiation]].
===About Heating===
: '''Heating''' [[Energy Transfer|transfers]] [[energy]] from the [[Thermal Energy Store|thermal energy store]] of one [[object]] to the [[Thermal Energy Store|thermal energy store]] or the [[Internal Energy|internal energy store]] of another [[object]].
: When [[heating]] increases the [[Thermal Energy Store|thermal energy store]] of an [[object]] the [[temperature]] will increase.
: When [[heating]] increases the [[Internal Energy|internal energy]] of an [[object]] this may increase its [[temperature]] or cause it to [[State Change|change state]], eg [[Solid]] to [[Liquid]].
