Convection is the movement of molecules in fluids. The heat transfer takes place through diffusion and advection. Convection refers to the sum of diffusive and advection transfer.

Example includes hurricanes. As far as heating winds the sun warms the earth which in turn warms the air and the warmer air expands becoming less dense than the surrounding air mass. The lighter air rises and it cools due to its expansion at high-altitude pressures.

Transfer of energy by movement of particles is?

Convection is the movement of particles due to a gradient of energy. Heat energy is thus transfered by the moving particles.


How is heat naturally transfered between objects?

The mechanisms to transfer heat are conduction, convection, and radiation. Heat will naturally flow from hotter to colder objects.


How does the transfer of heat differs between conduction and convection?

In conduction, heat is transferred through direct contact between materials, such as a metal spoon heating up when placed in a hot liquid. In convection, heat is transferred through the movement of fluids, like when hot air rises and cold air sinks, creating a cycle of heat transfer.
