Not sure what you mean here but here goes:-
I think you are after the explanation of conduction. This describes the fluid dynamics of materials in relation to temperature. When an object (the air around us or water in a boiling pan) is heated is becomes less dense and will move to the surface where the denser object will move to the bottom. This is not the case in a vacumn where heat can only travel by radiation.

How do deep currents affect climate?
The air of a region where the temperature is higher is warmer than the air of a region where the temperature is lower. As a result, the air will flow from the warmer region to the cooler region. This generates air currents.
What energy source drives convection?
Convection currents are driven by an uneven temperature. It is the rise and fall movement of matter from a hot region to a cool region.
What is the transfer of heat by movement of heated liquids or gases?
There are three basic heat transfer mechanisms: Conduction, Convection andRadiation. Heat transfer in opaque solids is just by Conduction. In gases andliquids all three mechanism can contribute to heat transfer.The Convection Mechanism of Heat Transfer is the transportation of heat bythe bulk motion of the fluid. If this motion is produced by buoyancy effects thatarise from the fluid having different temperatures (and so different densities) at different points, it is called Natural Convection. If the motion of the fluid is produced by a pressure gradient (like a fluid been forced to flow through a heated pipe),the heat convection mechanism is called Forced Convection Heat Transfer.
What is wet vapor?
Wet Vapour is the region which contains a mixture of liquid and vapour. The liquid is saturated liquid and the vapour is saturated vapour. The temperature stays uniform until the entire phase change is complete.
Land with common characteristics?
A region is an area that has something special that is common to the area.
A sentences with convection?
Convection- heat transfer in a gas or liquid by the circulation of currents from one region to another.
What is the definition for a convection?
1. The act or process of conveying; transmission.2. Physicsa. Heat transfer in a gas or liquid by the circulation of currents from one region to another.b. Fluid motion caused by an external force such as gravity.3. Meteorology The transfer of heat or other atmospheric properties by massive motion within the atmosphere, especially by such motion directed upward.
What is the region where both winds and ocean currents flow unimpeded around the world is?
What is the region where both winds and ocean currents flow unimpeded around the world SOUTHERN
What is the direct cause of surface currents?
The correct answer is differences in temperature *and* differences in salinity between the tropic and polar regions. However in the tropic regions the currents are started by the prevailing winds. And in the polar region the more saline and therefore, denser waters in the current sink to the bottom, which of course is caused by gravity.
What distributes heat from one region to another?
Surface currents
Where does heat transfer?
From higher temperature region to lower temperature region.
What are the names of the region in earth's interior where convection currents occur?
The middle of the mantle.
How does elevation affects climate of a region?
ocean currents, mountains, elevation, and latitude
What is the liquid region above Earth's inner core?
The liquid region above the Earth's inner core is the outer core.
What are currents that can keep coastal regions cooler than the inland climates year around called?
the answer is cold currents because the wind of surface currents bring in cold water plus air into the region

Why did New England and the Caribbean form a single economic region?
Favorable ocean currents
