Question

which of these systems is an example of convection? water boiling in a pot food frying in a pan melting ice in your hand

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases). When water boils in a pot, the hot water (less dense) rises and the cooler water (more dense) sinks, creating a circular motion (convection current). Food frying in a pan is mainly conduction (heat transfer through direct contact between the pan and food). Melting ice in your hand is also conduction (heat transfer from your hand to the ice).

Answer:

water boiling in a pot
