Convection is the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid (liquid or gas). In the case of a floor - heating vent sending warm air throughout a room, warm air (a gas) is in motion, carrying heat. Burning feet on a hot sidewalk is conduction (heat transfer through direct contact). Feeling warm near a campfire is radiation (heat transfer through electromagnetic waves).
