When Heat convection occurs in gases and liquids heat conviction does not occur in solids because solids are unable to?
..to flow as easily. A malleable (space between particles) structure is need for convection to take place.
What is heat transfer by convection possible only in liquids and gases?
Because convection occurs by convection currents. Convection currents occur as a result of the movement of a body. Since solids cant move, convection only occurs in fluid, i.e., liquids and gases
Why convection occurs only the liquid s and gases only but not in solids?
The molecules in solids are not free to move around as they are in liquids and gasses. It's the movement of the molecules that creates the convection currents.
Why convection cannot take place in solids?
because the process requires the formation of currents which is only possible in fluids (i.e solids and liquids). It is not possible for currents to develop in solids for the simple reason that the molecules in a solid are not free to move around and they are contained in their fixed positions.
Compare conduction and convention?
conduction takes place in solids while convection takes place in liquids and gas.
What is the difference between conduction and convection a 5th grade answer please?
Conduction occurs in solids and liquids but not gases. Convection occurs in gases and liquids.

Why convection currents can be set up in liquids and gases but not in solids?
Matter doesn't move easily in solids.
What is a current when solids gases or liquids rise and sink in a looping path?
Convection
What method heat transfer can take place through solids liquids gases?
Convection
Why does conduction occurs more easily in solids and liquids than in solids?
Conduction is the transfer of heat by direct contact. It is more likely to occur in soilds and liquids because the particles are closer and move slower.
Do Solids usually conduct heat better then liquids and gases?
Solids do conduct heat better than gases, although not necessarily better than liquids. Some solids are actually composite materials, because they can have a porous structure which contains gas within the solid, and this results in solids that do not conduct heat very well. But it is the gas component which has this insulating property.
How does heat travel in solids and liquids?
a. condensation b. conduction c. convection d. radiation
Why Solids are strong?
Solids are strong because they are not like liquids,liquids can go through your hand and solids cant
