Convection currents happen in a fluid that is on top of a hot base.

1. Cold fluid is heated up at the bottom

2. The now hot fluid rises up and is replaced by other cold fluid

3. When the hot fluid gets to the top, it flows to a side (pushed by hotter fluid rising)

4. It cools down and flows to the bottom again

5. REPETITION

During convection hot material then moves to the side and . This circular pattern is called a convection current?
