Convection means 'the act of carrying.' In physics the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas. In Meteorology it is the process in which masses of warm air are raised into the atmosphere, which then cool and form clouds
convetion currents
The atmosphere, the oceans, and the mantle are three of Earth's spheres where energy is transferred by convection. In the atmosphere, warm air rises and cold air sinks, creating convection currents. In the oceans, warmer water near the surface moves towards the poles while cooler water at depth moves towards the equator due to differences in temperature and density. In the mantle, heat from the Earth's core causes convection currents that drive plate tectonics.
Convection cells are formed due to the uneven heating of Earth's surface by the sun. As air near the equator is heated, it expands and rises, creating a low pressure area. This rising air cools, sinks, and moves towards the poles, completing the convection loop.
Air moves in large circular patterns called convection cells. A convection cell is most notable in the formation of clouds with its release and transportation of energy.
A person at the beach may experience convection currents when feeling a breeze coming from the ocean. The sun heats up the sand, causing the air above it to warm and rise, creating a lower pressure area. Cooler air from the ocean then moves in to replace it, creating a convection current and a gentle breeze felt by the person at the beach.
It moves because of convection currents
A convection oven moves the air, a microwave does not.

During convection, air moves due to temperature differences. Warmer air molecules expand and become less dense, causing them to rise. Cooler, denser air then moves in to replace the rising warm air, creating a convection current. This cycle of warm air rising and cool air sinking is how air moves during convection.
molecules in matter
During convection, hot material rises due to its lower density, creating a convection current. As the material moves to the side, it cools down, becomes denser, and eventually sinks, completing the circular pattern of convection. This process is driven by temperature differences within the fluid.
Warm air is displaced by cooler denser air
