Question
identifying situations where convection occurs
identify three situations in which convection occurs.
Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases). In boiling water, the warmer (less dense) water rises and the cooler (more dense) water sinks, creating a convection current. In a radiator - heated room, the air near the radiator is heated, becomes less dense, rises, and cooler air moves in to take its place. Ocean currents are also driven by convection. Warm surface water (due to solar heating) moves, and cooler, denser water from deeper layers moves to replace it.
