Is it true that heat transfer by the movement of currents within a fluid is called density?

No, it is not true that heat transfer by the movement of currents within a fluid is called density; it is actually called convection. Density is something else entirely, it refers to weight per a given volume. Of course, density is relevant to convection. Heat causes fluids to expand and therefore to become less dense, and therefore to rise.

The movement of matter due to differences in density and the transfer of energy that results from this movement is called?
convection current
Which process do air currents transfer heat energy throughout the room?
convection
What is the movement of heat called?
Convection is heat transfer by the movement of heated fluids. Heat transfer is the movement of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object.
What is the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid conduction called?
It is called Convection.
Transfer of enerby by movemont of particles?
The transfer of energy by movement of particles is called Convection.
The movement of matter due to differences in density and the transfer of energy that results from this movement is called?
convection current
What movement will occur when fresh water and salt water are in contact with each other simulating ocean currents with different densities of water?
The movement of water when ocean and fresh water meet is called Density currents.
Types of heat transfer?
The movement of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object is called convection currents
What is it called when heat moves through a liquid?
You are probably thinking of convection, which is transfer of heat by currents set up by variations in density of the liquid.
Which process do air currents transfer heat energy throughout the room?
convection
What is the movement of heat called?
Convection is heat transfer by the movement of heated fluids. Heat transfer is the movement of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object.
What is the ability to transmit electrical currents called?
The ability of a material to transfer heat or electric current is called conductivity.
Heat transfer that takes place as a result of currents in liquids and gases is called?
Convection
What is the transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid conduction called?
It is called Convection.
How do difference in air density cause convection currents?
It just happens because of the differenciation in the air density which allows the so called convection currents to occur/form. Complex I know but is the closest conclusion.
What is the transfer of energy by movement of particles called?
motion
What is the movement of heated fluids called?
Convection is heat transfer by the movement of heated fluids. Heat transfer is the movement of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object.
