is this convection, conduction or radiation?
conduction
radiation
convection
Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases). In the image, warm air (less dense) rises and cold air (more dense) sinks, creating a circulation pattern. This movement of air (a gas) due to density differences caused by temperature changes is characteristic of convection. Conduction involves heat transfer through direct contact of solids, and radiation is heat transfer via electromagnetic waves (like sunlight). Since the image shows fluid (air) movement for heat transfer, it is convection.
