Conduction and convection only

Conduction, convection, and radiation

Conduction, convection, and radiation.

Conduction transfers heat from the stove to the pot and from the pot into the water; convection circulates the heated water (and air) as it boils; and the hot surfaces also emit thermal radiation.
