This document discusses different methods of heat transfer - conduction, convection, and radiation. It defines key terms like heat, temperature, and latent heat. It explains concepts like specific heat of fusion and vaporization. It also covers the phenomenon of regelation where ice can melt under pressure and re-freeze when pressure is removed, and how this relates to latent heat. It notes that boiling point decreases but melting point increases at higher altitudes due to lower atmospheric pressure.
