what is convection quizlet
The heat generated from within the body is given-off to the surrounding atmosphere. EVAPORATION. When you sweat or when your skin or clothing gets wet, the evaporation of that liquid (i.e., the change from liquid to vapour form) promotes heat loss, and the natural result is a cooling effect. CONVECTION. Convection is the process of air or water flowing by the skin and carrying away body heat. Itâs convective heat loss that you try to prevent by staying as still as possible in the water. Staying still, the boundary layer of water next to the skin is heated by the body and remains undisturbed.
