Things with a lower density will float on things with a higher density.
If you take a fluid (air or water) and heat it, the portion that is heated usually expands. The same mass takes up more volume and as a consequence the heated portion becomes less dense than the portion that is not heated.

What is the transfer of energy that occurs due to density differences in the air?
Convection.
Density changes are responsible for which methods of thermal energy transfer?
Convection.
How is destiny involved in the process of convection?
It's the change (decrease) in density with heating that produces the currents that we refer to as convection currents.
How differences in density affect convection?
this question doesnt make sense
What is the transfer of heat causing differences in air density called?
Convection
How is density involved in convection?
In convection less molecules occupy large volume as in air to reduce the density.
How is convection related to density?
It is related by the grams that are measured by density
Is temperature the only factor that drives convection?
No Density also drives convection.
What is the transfer of energy that occurs due to density differences in the air?
Convection.
Differences in a material's is what drives convection?
Differences in a materials __________ is what drives convection
What is a good sentence for convection?
Convection is the movement of matter due to differences in density.
Density changes are responsible for which methods of thermal energy transfer?
Convection.
The differences in a materials is what drives convection?
Density
What difference in a material drives convection?
density
Differences in density cause energy to be transferred by which method Is it absorption conduction convection or radiation?
convection
What happens in a convection cells?
A convection cell is a system in which a fluid is warmed, loses density and is forced into a region of greater density. The cycle repeats and a pattern of motion forms. Convection cells in Earth's atmosphere are responsible for the blowing of wind, and can be found in a variety of other natural and manmade phenomena. Matter is constantly losing density in convection cells.
What are the main causes of convection in the asthenosphere?
Density and tempurature.
