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

Brief Explanations:

Conduction is the transfer of heat energy through direct contact. In the diagram, heat is conducted from the hot pot (X) to the handle where the hand is in contact (Z) and also within the pot material itself from the heated - part to other parts. There is no conduction between the fire (Y) and the pot as that is mainly radiation and convection, and not direct - contact heat transfer. Also, the liquid in the pot (W) has heat transfer mainly through convection.

Answer:

X and Z
