Conduction: body heat lost to other objects through direct contact
Convection: body heat is lost to surrounding air, which heats up, rises, and is
then replaced with cool air.
Evaporation: Body heat causes perspiration, and when the skin is persperated
the heat is transfered from the body to the liquid, turning it into a gas over time.
