Exo Terra Heat Mat PT2015 Mode D'emploi page 8

Conduction (Heat Mat and Heat Rock): the transfer of heat by means
of physical contact. The larger the contact area, the more efficient
the heat transfer.
Heat Rocks can be used in conjunction with the Heat Mat but is
more as an alternative heat source as it can be placed inside the
terrarium. Never position the Heat Rock on the surface heated by
a Heat Mat Substrate Heater!
Convection (almost all heat sources create a form of convection): the
movement of heat by moving air. Convection results from the differences
in the densities of the air at different temperatures. As air raises in
temperature, it becomes less dense and thus lighter thereby rising
above its cooler and denser counterparts, which in turn sink.
Radiation (Intense Basking Spot, Daylight Basking Spot, Solar Glo,
Halogen Basking Spot, Infrared Basking Spot, Daytime Heat Lamp
and Night Heat Lamp): energy in the form of electromagnetic waves.
Different forms of radiation comprise the electromagnetic spectrum
and are characterized by their different wavelength. The following
types of radiation make up the electromagnetic spectrum (in order
of decreasing energy and increasing wavelength): ultraviolet rays,
visible light rays and infrared. The shortest wavelength forms of
radiation are most penetrating.
Incandescent light bulbs (Intense Basking Spot, Daylight Basking
Spot, Solar Glo, Halogen Basking Spot, Infrared Basking Spot,
Daytime Heat Lamp and Night Heat Lamp) should not be mounted
immediately above the surface heated by the Heat Mat, and place
them in such a way that a cooler area is still present.
