The two-dimensional Fig. 2-2 graph is confusing in that it could be
inferred that the E and H fields are 90 degrees out of phase in time
and are never zero at the same time. The E and H fields are in phase
in time as demonstrated by Fig. 2-4.
Hmmm. I'm no expert, but I thought they were 90 degrees out of phase.
It's the rapidly changing H field that creates the E field and vica
versa. If you look closely, Fig 2-4 also shows them 90 degrees out of
phase.

To the OP, heat is not electromagnetic radiation. Light and x-rays
are. You can heat something by pointing em radiation at it and
something that is hot gives off infra-red em radiation, but heat
itself is not em radiation.
