Analyze the process of boiling water in a pot on a stove as described in the sources. You must identify exactly where conduction, convection, and radiation are happening.

Conduction: Occurs where the stove element touches the kettle, and where the kettle's metal surface touches the water.

Convection: Occurs inside the water itself as it moves in a circular pattern.

Radiation: Occurs as heat waves escape from the top of the kettle or travel outwards from the stove element.
