Convection Currents
Convection is a heat transfer method in liquids and gases.
When a liquid is heated, the hot water becomes less dense and rises
Eventually, this liquid cools as it is further away from the heat source.
It becomes more dense and sinks towards the heat source, where the cycle repeats.
