A Venn diagram shows 2 intersecting circles, with the left circle labeled convection and the right circle labeled radiation. There is an X in the radiation circle only.
Which label belongs in the area marked X?
Must involve temperature differences between substances or objects
Only occurs when molecules are in direct contact
Involves the movement of fluids based on density differences
Can occur where there is little or no matter

The label that belongs in the area marked X, which is in the radiation circle only, is:
Can occur where there is little or no matter.
This is because radiation can transfer energy through a vacuum (such as space), while convection requires a medium (like a fluid or gas) to transfer heat through direct contact and movement.
