Yes, when heat travels by convection the energy is transferred by the circulation of a heated fluid, such as air or water.

Is it true that when heat energy travels by convection energy is transferred by the circulation of heated material?
Yes, that's what convection is all about. If the heat moves around without the movement of the material itself, then it is conduction - or perhaps radiation - but not convection.
The way in which heat travels by movement or circulation?
It is called convection.
Why do convection currents sink back to the core?
Because there are deep-ocean trenches which are deep under water canyons.
How is heat transferred within the earth's atmosphere?
Heat in earth's atmosphere is transferred by: Radiation, Conduction, & Convection. ((:
How heat travels through convection?
Movement of Thermal energy is by the use of convection currents.
What method of heat transfer travels as a wave?
convection
What is the material through which light travels?
what is the material through which light travels
What is systemic circulation?
is a way blood travels al the body. body travels the body by circulation, but by different types like pulmonary circulation... and one form is systemic circulation. for more information look in other pages
What are the different types of heat transfer?
There are three types of heat transfer, namely conduction, convection and radiation. Heat is transferred until the reach a state of equilibrium. Conduction is basically the transfer of heat through a surface of contact, such as a fire to the base of a pot. We say that a material is a good or poor conductor of heat when heat travels quickly or slowly in that particular material. Good conductors of heat are metals whereas poor conductors of heat are rubber and Styrofoam. Conduction cannot occur in a vacuum. Convection is the transfer of heat through molecules. It can only occur in liquids and gases as there are relatively big spaces between the molecules. A convection current is where hot air rises and cold air sinks. Convection cannot occur in a vacuum. Radiation is the transfer of heat through a vacuum. Heat is transferred from the Sun to Earth through radiation.
Is an airplane a material that travels?
An airplane is material constructed into a flying machine that travels.
How does heat travels if there is air?
Heat travels through water and air primarily through conduction and convection. Radiation is also a significant means of heat transfer through air, but less so through water.
When heat travels through air is that radiation?
No, that would be convection.
