What happens to convection currents when the liquid or gas is no longer heat?
Nothing actually happens to convection currents when heat is no longer supplied. The currents are produced by applying heat, most often to the bottom. The warmed fluid is 'lighter' than the cold fluid surrounding so it rises to allow colder fluid to replace it and be heated. As soon as the heat is removed, all the fluid rapidly comes to a single temperature and convevtion does not happen! An opposite effect happens when cold air sits on the surface of a lake. In this case the water at the surface cools, gets 'heavier' and sinks. In this case the convection currents operates downwards.
