Why convection occurs only the liquid s and gases only but not in solids?

The molecules in solids are not free to move around as they are in liquids and gasses. It's the movement of the molecules that creates the convection currents.

Heat convection occurs in gases and liquids Heat convection does not occur in solids because solids are unable to?
transfer heat by fluid motion
What is heat transfer by convection possible only in liquids and gases?
Because convection occurs by convection currents. Convection currents occur as a result of the movement of a body. Since solids cant move, convection only occurs in fluid, i.e., liquids and gases
How does heat moves through liquid and gases?
Heat passes through liquid and gases through the process called convection. In solids however it passes through the process of conduction.
When Heat convection occurs in gases and liquids heat conviction does not occur in solids because solids are unable to?
..to flow as easily. A malleable (space between particles) structure is need for convection to take place.
What does convection occurs in?
Convection only occurs in fluids. Fluids are gases or liquids.
What is the difference between conduction and convection a 5th grade answer please?
Conduction occurs in solids and liquids but not gases. Convection occurs in gases and liquids.

How does heat transfer through gases and liquids?
Convection needs something flowing to carry heat. That means a liquid, such as water, or a gas, such as air. Solids don't flow. They block convection.
How do you go through solids liquids and gases?
conduction goes through all three objects convection goes through liquids and gases and.. radiation goes through Solid,liquid,gases&space
How is transferred in liquid and gases?
In liquids by convection and by radiation in gases
What usually occurs in gases and liquids?
Convection
Why convection currents can be set up in liquids and gases but not in solids?
Matter doesn't move easily in solids.
What is a current when solids gases or liquids rise and sink in a looping path?
Convection
