Heat transfer occurs from one substance to another in order to equalize their temperatures. This process happens because of the natural tendency of heat to move from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature until thermal equilibrium is reached.

The difference in temperature (i.e the average kinetic energy) between the two points results in heat transfer from the point with higher temperature (higher average kinetic energy) to the point with a lower temperature (lower average kinetic energy).
