What does air do when it is heated in convection?

When air is heated in convection, it becomes less dense and rises. As it rises, it displaces cooler air, which then becomes heated and rises as well. This creates a continuous cycle of warm air rising and cool air sinking, which is known as convection.

How does convection cause sea breezes at the sea side?

During the day, the land by the sea is heated by the sun. Through convection, this heated air rises upward and then in order to replace this heated air, cooler air is drawn from the surface of the sea, creating a sea breeze.

Why doesnt convection occur when a beaker is heated at the top?

Convection occurs when heated fluid rises and cooler fluid sinks, creating a continuous circulation. If a beaker is heated at the top, the heated fluid near the top would rise but due to cooler fluid at the bottom, the circulation does not sustain itself, thus preventing convection from occurring.
