Difference in temperature is the reason heat transfers from one substance to another.

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).
Heat transfer from a substance with a higher mass to one with a lower mass occurs due to the difference in their thermal energies. The substance with higher mass has more thermal energy to transfer to the one with lower mass, resulting in heat transfer to achieve thermal equilibrium.
The transfer of heat from one substance to another that it is touching is called conduction. This process occurs when heat energy is transferred through direct contact between particles of different temperatures.
When thermal energy is transferred from one substance to another, it is called heat transfer. Heat transfer can occur through conduction, convection, or radiation.
Heat transfer is the process by which thermal energy moves from one substance to another. This can occur through conduction (direct transfer through touch), convection (transfer through fluid movement), or radiation (transfer through electromagnetic waves).
No, the transfer of temperature from one substance to another is called conduction. Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases).
