The arrows in the pot typically represent convection. In the context of heat transfer, convection refers to the movement of heat through fluids (liquids and gases) caused by the motion of the fluid itself. The arrows indicate the movement of warmer, less dense fluid rising and cooler, denser fluid sinking, which creates a circulation pattern within the pot. Radiation involves the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact, and "waves" is a more general term that can refer to various types of wave phenomena.
