the diagram shows movement of thermal energy. in which areas of the diagram does conduction occur? w and x x…

Brief Explanations:

Conduction is the transfer of heat energy through direct contact. In the diagram, heat is transferred by conduction where there is direct - contact between substances. The handle (X) gets hot by conduction from the pot, and the hand (Z) gets hot by conduction from the handle. The heat transfer between the pot and the handle and between the handle and the hand occurs through direct contact.

Answer:

X and Z
