What is the movement of fluid caused by differences in temperature that transfers heat from one part of the fluid to another?
Convection
Convection only occurs in due to particles moving not just heat transfer as in conduction?
Yes, convection is the transfer of heat through bulk movement of a fluid, gas or liquid. The movement can be natural caused by density differences, or can be forced.
Does the flow that transfer heat within a fluid is called convection current?
Not unless the fluid is flowing due to temperature/density differences.
Explain how differences in fluid pressure create a buoyant force on an object?
Buoyant force is caused by differences in fluid pressure.Buoyancy is the upward force on an object produced by the surrounding fluid (could be a liquid or a gas) in which it is fully or partially immersed.
What is the continuous flow that occurs in a heated fluid because of differences of temperature and density?
convection current
What is the movement of fluid caused by differences in temperature that transfers heat from one part of the fluid to another?
Convection
Where does convection happen?
Convection refers to the transfer of heat energy by the motion of a fluid such as air or water caused by differences in temperature within the fluid. Therefore convection happens wherever there is a fluid with a temperature gradient. This means that convection is happening continuously in the air around us and in bodies of water. A car heater and a convection oven are also considered to transfer heat by convection, but this is using the term liberally since the movement of the fluid (air) in these two cases is caused by a fan, not temperature gradient. So, while not perhaps being absolutely accurate examples of convection, still the heat is transferred through fluid motion.
A movement of fluid caused by cool dense fluid sinking and warm less dense fluid rising?
condensation
What forms because of differences in temperature and density of a fluid?

What is aconvection current?
A convection current is a natural flow or circulation of fluid due to a variation in its density due to temperature differences. As a fluid's temperature increases, its density reduces, and the fluid rises to be replaced by fluid at a lower temperature. Convection, together with conduction and radiation, is a method of heat transfer.
What does a conevection current mean?
Motion of a fluid (liquid or gas) caused by density changes caused by temperature changes.
What are circulating currents in a fluid called?
If it is a result of temperature differences, it is called convection.
What is the continuous flow that occurs in a heated fluid because of differences of temperature and density?
convection current
What is the purpose of a compressor?
A mechanical compressor is a device which compresses fluid. It is used to create differences in presssure which creates movement in said fluid. The compressed fluid also has more energy, and thus more uses than expanded fluid.
