WILL MARK BRAINLIEST AND 20 POINTS Iguanas need to live in a habitat that is very warm, so the pet store warms their enclosures with “basking lights” which act as an artificial sun. Describe how the three methods of thermal energy transfer may take place within the iguana’s enclosure.

Heat can travel from one place to another in three ways: Conduction, Convection and Radiation. Both conduction and convection require matter to transfer heat.  Conduction is the transfer of heat between substances that are in direct contact with each other. Thermal energy is transferred from hot places to cold places by convection. Radiation is a method of heat transfer that does not rely upon any contact between the heat source and the heated object as is the case with conduction and convection. Heat can be transmitted through empty space by thermal radiation often called infrared radiation.
