What can carry heat by convection?
Convection is when fluids (yes, air is considered a fluid) mix... Hot (less dense) molecules will rise as opposed to cold (more dense) molecules will sink.
What is the name of the process when warm molecules rise and cold molecules sink?
You are describing convection.
Does heated air rise or sink?
rise
Why is a sink called a sink?
Probably because it draws/absorbs the heat making the heat "sink" into it
What direction will heat flow if cold water is added to a hot pan?
Water droplets will start evaporating on contacting the pan bottom, and they will tend to "dance" on the produced steam.
Why the heat sink is always used in power electronics converters?
A heat-sink is needed to dissipate the wasted power without any undue temperature rise. The effectiveness of a heat sink is measured by the watts dissipated per degree of temperature rise.
Does hot water rise and cold water sink?
HOT rises COLD sinks
Why does a hot air balloon rise when it is heated and sink wen it is cooled?
If it is cooled its gets extremely cold from the helium,and when the heat is in the balloon it keeps it warm when its in the helium
Do cold radiation waves go down?
There is no such thing as cold radiation. Cold is nothing in itself; it is merely the absence of heat - or just less heat. Heat, like light, radiates, but cold, like darkness, does not.What you may think of is cold convection; i.e., the fact that cold air will sink and warm air will rise. This effect is often confused as being 'cold radiation'.
Do cold dry air masses sink or rise?
cold air sinks as denser - warm air rises

A heat sink is a device to improve the purity of the electrons in an electrical circuit?
There is no such thing as the "purity of electrons". A heat sink is used to keep a device reasonably cold.
What type of water will things float down faster in warm or cold?
Cold will sink to the bottom. Hot water will rise to the top.
What will rise and what will sink?
a stone will sink and a feather would rise
Why is Antarctica's climate important to other parts of the world?
Antarctica is called the Earth's heat sink, which attracts excess heat from all over the planet.
Why is the cooling unit of a freezer at the top?
This is because, hot air rises and cold air sinks. When the air near the cooling unit loses heat, it will sink to the bottom whereas the hotter air at the bottom will rise to the top. This is due to the density difference between them, since hot air has a lower density than cold air, hot air will rise. When they rise, they will be cooled by the cooling unit too. And then sink to the bottom again. This cycle will then repeat itself until the air is of a constant temperature.
