Yes, heat can be transfered by Conduction as well as Radiation, where thermal energy radiates through space, and Convection, where heat rises and cools in fluid moving in a circular motion.
Hot air rises and cools as it does so.
Heaters are placed on the floor because of convection currents. Convection currents are the circular motion of air currents, caused by the simple fact that cool air is heavier than warm air. Thence, warm air rises. Heaters are placed on the floor to get the heat to people before the air cools down and begins to sink.
Heat energy is usually transmitted through liquids and gases by convection (warmer, less dense material rises, and sinks again when it cools).
Yes, as the warm air rises, it cools, condenses and then forms clouds.
A convection current is created when a heated material continually rises, cools and sinks. Plate tectonics are driven by this type of motion,

The rising and falling of the molten lava underneath the plates. The magma is always moving in a circular motion. Since the center of the earth is the hottest when the lava rises it cools off as it gets further away from the center then it becomes cool and dense and falls back down towards the center then it heats back up and rises. That circular motion moves the plates
well if you mean in the asthenosphere convection...the melty goo in there gets hot so it rises then get cold so it cools, you can see this affect in a boiling pan of water. :)
Air cools as it rises.
Convection cells are lava underneath the surface of the earth that moves in a circular motion! When the lava gets closer to the centre of the earth, because heat rises, it goes upwards in a circular motion. Then it's further away from the heat so it cools down, and cool air sinks, so it goes down! The process is completed and this is called a convection cell this repeats everyday under the surface!

Temperature differences in the mantle drive convection currents because warm material is less dense and rises, while cooler material is more dense and sinks. This movement creates a circular flow as the cooler material sinks and gets heated, while the warmer material rises and cools down. The density variations caused by the temperature differences are a key driver of convection in the mantle.
