Convection |
Convection is the process of losing heat through the movement of air or water molecules across the skin |
|
|
Radiation |
Radiation is a form of heat loss through infrared rays. This involves the transfer of heat from one object to another, with no physical contact involved. |
|
|
Conduction |
Conduction is the process of losing heat through physical contact with another object or body. For example, if you were to sit on a metal chair, the heat from your body would transfer to the cold metal. |
|
|
Evaporation |
Evaporation is the process of losing heat through the conversion of water to gas (evaporation of sweat). The primary heat loss process for aqua enthusiasts is convection, however, in an outdoor pool on hot day evaporation will also play a primary role in heat loss. |

Conduction (Heat Loss Prevention) |
Insulate your body from the ground while camping. Having a sleeping pad or a layer of something between the ground and your body keeps your heat trapped in your sleeping bag. |

Convection (Heat Loss Prevention) |
Wear wind and water resistant clothing (wind-breaker, hat, rain pants, rain boots) |
